Education Reform -- Again??!!
January 28th, 2007
An editorial in the New York Times criticizes Mayor Michael Bloombergs latest education reforms the third in five years: [T]his one radically alters funding formulas and guts the existing management structure roiling a system already struggling to digest earlier changesThe Bloomberg plan expresses some noble ideals. But reforms that affect the lives of more than a million schoolchildren should not be made in haste or on the basis of consultants hunches. Given the mayors habit of ignoring reasonable criticism, the City Council, the Legislature and the Regents should use what leverage they have to ensure that the reforms are closely scrutinized and modified where necessary to produce the best possible result.
