Fascinating. Any interest in collaborating on a piece about the hard bigotry of affordable housing programs? The solutions we're offering folks are prone to dehumanize and exploit the folks we're trying to serve.
Yes! I took a course on the sociology of education and later (in the early 70's) a Masters in Education.
Pygmalion in the Classroom was presented as an epiphany. Being enamored by this "explanation" did indeed make many "immunized against evidence and experience". I very much appreciate the evidence of how this unexamined attitude has played out over the decades. The burden on teachers that has become institutionalized has been a disservice to them and their students. It also distracted from the understanding the real drivers of the achievement gap. The work of the Rothsteins can mitigate that misinformation. Thank you.
Richard, this is fantastic and so true. As a life-time educator, I appreciate your insights and hopefully, moving the needle.
