Stupidity and Tears
by Herbert Kohl
Category: Education

A call to action against troubled public education systems cites practices that victimize students and teachers, assessing current methods that enforce "sink-or-swim" mentalities, force teachers to work against their consciences, and compromise creativity and intellectual development, in a meditative analysis that addresses specific challenges within such areas as educational budgets, state standards, and injudicious politics.
