It is a sign of this system's failure to meet the needs of the vast majority of children in this country. Some individual media reporters know about the research on the subject of education, but they are either not allowed or are unwilling to take an honest stand. None of the popular news programs are willing to pull the plug on their educated audiences. Furthermore, sponsors are not willing to pay for programs that may cause angry viewers to boycott their products. Politicians certainly are not going to tell the truth about what is happening to children in schools.
Educators represent the largest union in the world.
The educational system employs some 20 to 30 million people and represents the largest industry in the world. In other words, the single most destructive and backward childrearing practice called American education is here to stay, and you the reader, like us, can do nothing about it. The news media in this country is trying to promote the idea that there is an education revolution going on in this nation. This is nothing more than a faddish media hype. There is no education revolution going on in this country.
