I sip my coffee watching Morning Joe on MSNBC. A couple of mornings ago, within the space of two breaths, Joe Scarborough lauded a plan to nationalize math and reading teaching--"national textbooks" in these subjects--and blasted a politician who opposed the creation of more charter schools in New York.
Huh?
Doesn't he see that charter schools succeed--when they do succeed; it's not a given that they will--by not following the path that leads to a national curriculum?
Or that a national curriculum in a nation as diverse as the U.S. is senseless?
But, I fear, his views represent too many of us.
