As students returned from the Coronavirus crisis, the critical
question became "What grade are they in?" Were they passed with
their age group without actually learning? Were they retained,
allowing the school-to-prison pipeline process to begin? Or did
they sit in summer school while politicians pretended they were
catching up? The lessons from the pandemic were clear. Not only
does the system not work for them anymore, the system has not
worked for Black and Brown students-as well as White students in
Appalachia-for the last 200 years. In addition to structural
changes, the reality is that high stakes standardized testing
drives the curriculum into a narrow scope of education when the
need is to educate children beyond the classroom into the world of
today. A Failed System: Pandemic-Related Solutions to a
200-Year-Old Education Crisis presents solutions designed to
develop a system of education that places all children on an even
playing field. The current system has no solutions to the
structural problem and shows no interest in taking students beyond
the big test. It is time to replace education's failed
system-students must be prepared to think!
