[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are people who work really hard to pay for private school and really rich people in public schools. Smart kids public and private. My experience in private school was that the admin just made all these changes and didn’t care what the parents thought, it was very top down, “we are experts,” and that’s an attitude that seems pervasive throughout education right now. Public, private we all have a right to ask for accountability. The NAEP scores are cratering nationally both in elite and public education. You want to change how we do school? Fine, make your case, but they don’t even bother. They said tech was great, turns out it’s terrible and now the head of the teacher’s union wants it to be all AI all the time. Does it work? How are the kids doing?

Two decades of bad literacy rates before we finally got rid of whole word, which expanded inequity across the country because richer people paid tutors, but it’s the very same people who are obsessed with equity who advocated for the changes to curriculum.

We have to change how we vote and think about what politicians are better for education and about teachers unions for any of this to change. We have to stop nodding along at parents meetings and be willing to leave the “best” private schools if they aren’t educating our kids. Who cares if they can get your kids get into Harvard if they can’t do Algebra II once they are there?

Red states are doing so much better than blue right now for so much less money because they have people who notice and call out what people in the blue states dont. One tiny thing that might help is not mocking and calling racist anyone who wants to ask why it’s important for a first grader to learn to develop a math identity rather than learn their times tables, and whether the kids did better longterm in math with these new curriculums. If you say MAGA or but Trump, I know you are incapable of an actual conversation.  [/quote]

There are no NYC privates that get kids into Harvard who can’t do Algebra II.  Your hyperbole and sky is falling message does nothing to advance your goals. [/quote]

This.  If anything,  kids in privates are overeducated with astounding advantages. I can't believe the courses my DC has access to at a TT. It's mind blowing. The disparity feels criminal. They would be remiss not to balance these experiences with the POV of others.[/quote]
