Cloning of the American Mind

No More Teachers, No More Books
by Heather-Jane Robertson
When politicians claim that they are going to improve the quality of education while cutting the education budget, they typically explain the apparent contradiction by suggesting that there is still "fat" in the system. Children whose schools have lost music programs and whose gyms are without sports equipment may wonder what "fat" will get chopped next. But the politicians know what they are doing; they're just reluctant to come out and say it. They are putting the squeeze on school boards so that private enterprise -- and especially their generous friends in high-tech industries -- can move in. They're moving in now. School boards are entering into "partnership" agreements with private industry that entail concessions such as logo-emblazoned sports equipment from Nike, and computer screen-savers that advertise Pepsi's ability to quench a "thirst for knowledge". Heather-jane Robertson has been tracking the assault on public education in North America for more than a decade. In No More Teachers, No More Books, she reports on developments that will come as a shock to many. Among the myths she explodes: -- The myth that Canadian students score poorly in comparison with their international counterparts. (They don't.) -- The myth that students equipped with computers learn better than students without them. (No data support this view.) -- The myth that charter schools provide all students with equal access to quality education. (They promote inequality.) So far, the changes in public education have been made quietly and incrementally. Heather-jane Robertson shows how the little changes are pieces that come together to form a big picture. This is an important andcontroversial contribution to a debate that is just beginning.
