Tell
Me More on NPR has in interesting interview here with Claudio Sanchez about how sequestration and budget issues are
affecting education.
I
wonder if what’s happening in my own family is a microcosm of what’s happening
in the country. I taught in public
schools for twenty-eight years. Our
three children attended public schools and public colleges. But not one of my five grandchildren is in a
public school, and not one of my children teaches.
My
guess is that the combination of the public schools’ test-driven curriculum and
lack of funding will drive more and more people out, which will result in less
and less support. I don’t think this
bodes well for our country.
