K-12 Reform While Seattle Sleeps

Few Seattlites know that, as of a few years ago, the School Board enrolled Seattle Public Schools in the School Reform Movement. With this blog, my intent is to explain what school reform is and why it is detrimental to our children, to identify who the real beneficiaries are, to help organize effective opposition, and to suggest what change would likely be more constructive.

About Me

Joan NE
I am scientist by training, but am not working now. I am very concerned about "School Reform." My district - Seattle Public Schools - is undergoing "corporatist" reform (my synonym for "School Reform"), which is bringing "industrialized education" to the non-charter public schools. Progressive Alternative schools are no longer supported by the School Board and the District, and are being phased out. Few people here understand what is happenning. My co-activists and I are trying to learn all about this and to educate the public. We want healthy, effective public schools that genuinely serve the goal of closing the racial gap in on-time graduation rates, college-preparedness, college-admissions, college degree attainment, and post-graduation income potential for those graduates who do not endeavor to go to college.
