Review of Most Likely to Succeed (2015) by Page T — 18 Dec 2016
Another flawed generalization that pre-assumes: 1) public schools are failing; 2) what works at one school works across the country; 3) what works for some students work for all students; 4) what sounds reasonable is reasonable.
Social studies are NOT sciences, because they don't do control experiments. And the moneyed interests have succeeded in convincing Americans that their public education system is rotten to the core, so privatization through vouchers and charters are the answers. Meanwhile, hedge funds are pouring millions to bankroll "reform" groups and movies like these, to privatize one of the last remaining sectors intended for the public good.
