We warned YEARS ago that public schools were moving away from a Liberal Arts education focused on literacy and academics to dumbed down workforce training.
In Marc Tucker’s letter to Hillary Clinton, he lays out HIS elitist plan for shifting schools away from an academic education, to a “central plan” where YOUR children are considered “human capital” for the STATE.
Children will be TRACKED by surveys and assessments to see where THEY fit into the mold.
A quality liberal arts education allows the child to be EDUCATED first and then allows that person to guide their own path in life.
This is an elitist way to now manage and centralize public ed. Do you honestly think elite private schools will cave to this kind of education for their cherubs? Do you think Pres. Obama will settle for dumbed down workforce training for his precious angels?
This dumbed down workforce training isn’t in the school where Governor Hassan’s husband worked: Phillips Exeter. WHY? because they are educating the leaders of the world while your kids are simply human capital for those future leaders.
Look who was named Vice Chair of the NGA Education and Workforce Committee.
Gov. Maggie Hassan was named vice chairwoman of the National Governors Association (NGA) Education and Workforce Committee by NGA Chairman Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper and NGA Vice Chairman Utah Governor Gary Herbert.
