Keep Your Eyes on the Money - Bridging Differences - Education Week

The latest idea, that science and modern technology has provided us with a whole new way to decide on Truth is a cop-out—one Dewey sometimes fell into. In fact, even psychometricians have been largely excluded from the accountability discourse about the instruments they design, in ways that would have once been scandalous. When it comes to accountability by test scores, neither testing experts nor citizens make the decisions—we rely on accountants.
I believed then as now that the experience of a face-to-face-sized democratic community is vital for developing understanding of democracy's complexity.

- Democracy, I argue, is not "natural." It develops best in settings where vigorous defense of the absurd idea that human beings can be "smart enough" to overcome democracy's flaws must be reexamined over and over.
- You and I have different "pedagogical" views about the best way to get there, and a different interpretation of the history that got us to where we are. This is why I do not favor prescribing my favored curriculum or yours. But both of us are deeply suspicious of a society that sees self-interest—in the form of money—as the primary mechanism for making decisions. The power over others that the "advantaged" seek to perpetuate may be "natural"—but democracy depends on human inventiveness to create a system that reduces the advantages that distort democracy's potential.
  
  How sad that we've gone from a slogan with roots in democracy—No Child Left Behind—to an essentially divisive race to the top? Top of what? And why?
