K12 lawmakers, agencies and influencers have reengineered Minnesota’s public education system over the last decade. They have justified immense changes by appealing to popular trends like equity, social justice, technology adaptation and being more student-driven. Their changes, however, have dismantled vital elements of a school system that used to be among the best in the nation. Today, Minnesota students from all circumstances and backgrounds are behind in core areas like reading and math. Behavior and discipline have unraveled. And students now learn to judge themselves and their peers in terms of relative group power rather than friendship, trust and openness. They are taught to distrust the institution of school itself. This reengineering is bad for kids, teachers, budgets, safety and—most importantly—learning. The prescriptions that follow reverse the over-hyped and under-scrutinized provisions imposed over the last ten years. Read and explore. Click links. Talk with people.
