OV.026.A Teacher's View

Ordinary Voices

People on the outside of America’s school system view education through the lens of their own experience. This is natural because it is often our only point of reference. However, today’s education system does not look anything like education in the ’70s or ’80s, let alone earlier. The difference makes people think the situation is worse. It is not worse, matter of fact, it most likely is better. However, better does not mean without challenges.
