"[T]he drivers of the policies that are changing our schools—and thus increasingly presenting you with students ever less prepared for postsecondary academic work—are the wealthy corporations that profit from the policies they help define and the think tanks and activist organizations that have learned how to manipulate the levers of power, often to their own financial or ideological advantage." This spot-on letter from a teacher laments the effects of these policies: students who are not prepared for the broad, deep thinking required by universities; students who are no longer exposed to the arts or other non-tested subjects; no libraries in schools; droves of school closings; and class sizes as large as 40 in elementary schools.
