Editor's Notes
- #3 How is it possible that most people believe that local schools are very good, but consider public schools in general as failing? How is it possible that most people report that teaching is a great profession but discourage their sons and daughters from entering into the profession? Would it be possible that when discussing education people became bi-polar? Why is data driven decision making so hard? Can’t more people simply do what the data shows us should be done? Are people really that dense? Are we condemned to following myths until we are destroyed by dumb zombie ideas?
