Teachers make a difference. As someone who grew up in one of the
po- est and rural areas of a poor state and ended up attending
elite graduate and professional schools, I have much to credit my
public school teachers. My teachers sure struggled much to teach an
amazingly wide variety of students from different backgrounds,
abilities, and hopes. Given that re- ity, which undoubtedly repeats
itself across the United States and globe, one would think that I
should be quite hesitant to criticize a system that produces
countless grateful students and productive citizens. I agree. The
pages that follow surely can be perceived as yet another attack on
already much maligned schools that do produce impressive outcomes
despite their limited resources, increased obligations, and the
sustained barrage of attacks from competing interest groups. Some
may even view the text as an affront to the inalienable rights of
parents to raise their children as they see fit. Others surely
could understand the analysis as another assault on our
decentralized legal and school systems that should retain the right
to balance the needs of communities, parents, schools, and
students. I clearly did not intend, and do not see the ultimate
result, as yet another diatribe on the manner teachers, parents and
communities treat students.
