As I wrote last week, the
public education brand is in trouble and as 2017
fades away, a wave
of stories is sending the year
out with not a bang or a whimper, but rather with an unceremonious thud.
Meanwhile, the hope and promise
of public - funded universal
education has
faded now that the sons and daughters
of the greatest generation have succeeded only in grunting
out a generation
of consenting losers.
