Xiggi, I don’t always agree with you but your last line really resonates- there are millions of kids in America getting shortchanged every single day in their K-12 educations. I find it crazy the amount of ink and angst that people are prepared to expend criticizing Harvard…
Sure, Harvard could be less “Harvard” (whatever that means). But every calorie that a well intended ed reformer or social scientist expends worrying about Harvard is a calorie not spent figuring out how to rescue a kid in Camden or Newark NJ (among the HIGHEST spending districts in the country, btw) who is stuck in an 8th grade classroom reading at a 4th grade level.
Xiggi- onwards!
