I support changes in the educational system that are based on data and rational deductions based on what is known but not the policies of those who have hijacked a word with a positive connotation, “reform”, to use nice sounding polices that have little thought about fundamental learning mechanics.
“Reformers” have policies that will tend to benefit some children at the expense of larger educational goals.  I talked with the editors over 6 years ago about better policies but federal and state funding policies favored “reform” as defined by things like “accountability” and school choice. The paper favored those policies but if you look at the record for the last 6 years the state has spent over $2 billion to implement those policies most of which have proved to be counterproductive or ineffective.
