If all humor does indeed come from pain, then American educational
policymaking has been a petri dish brimming with hilarity. Even
before Betsy DeVos ascended to her perch atop the U.S. Department
of Education, her predecessors had offered up an excruciating
decade of fodder for satire. Ably assisted by a bevy of
billionaires, foundations, and advocacy think tanks, these
policymakers unleashed a torrent of rhetorical gibberish and
evidence-free "innovations" on the nation's children and their
schools. Potential Grizzlies: Making the Nonsense Bearable is one
researcher's attempt to laugh instead of cry. The book will bring
back memories of policymakers from more innocent times, from
Michelle Rhee to Arne Duncan to Chris Christie. Sit back and relax
with fond thoughts of your favorite policies, from testing to
school choice to "parent trigger." Or maybe just smile and imagine
a day when policymakers turn to research evidence and knowledgeable
educators to build a sound future for our children.
