• W123578801 abstract "Once freed from the intellectual confinement of the national goals and America 2000, we need to chart a quite different and more powerful educational course, in Mr. Clinchy's view. Now that we have a spanking new Administration in Washington, it is time for all of us to give ourselves a short but well-deserved and much-needed educational break. Indeed, we should be seriously proposing to President Clinton that it is time for the U.S. to stop for a moment to engage in a serious rethinking of all our current efforts to redesign, restructure, and reinvigorate the American system of public education. We need such a concentrated period of intense thought to wipe the slate clean of all the educational perversities visited upon us by the past two Administrations. We need to cleanse ourselves, for instance, of the idea that the education of this country's children is something best left to the tender mercies of the competitive capitalist marketplace. And then, once our Swiftian indignation has driven those money changers from the temple of public education, we desperately need to undertake a serious rethinking so that we can make a radical change of direction before we launch an all-out crusade to transform our present system of public schooling into everything it can and should be. Now, what on earth might that mean - transform our education system into everything it can and should be? Isn't that precisely what we've been doing ever since 1983 and the publication of A Nation at Risk? Isn't that what the six national goals for education and the America 2000 strategy were all about? The answer to those two questions is easy. No, that is not what we have been doing. And no, that is not what the national goals and America 2000 have been all about. A certain amount of grudging respect, I suppose, is due to former President Bush and to new President Clinton in his previous incarnation as one of the chief honchos behind the education agenda of the National Governors' Association. Both Bush and Clinton genuinely felt, I'm sure, that the effort they jointly launched in 1989 on die steps of Thomas Jefferson's academical village in Charlottesville, Virginia, was what the public schools of this country needed. But it was that education summit that attempted to impose on all of us the authoritarian intellectual straitjacket of the six national goals, including the creation and imposition of new, higher, more stringent, world-class academic standards in five traditional academic subjects; the goal of being first in the world in math and science; and the creation of a national testing system to measure progress toward those higher achievement standards - not to mention a few admirable social goals such as making every young child ready for school, making all schools drug-free, and making all adults literate.(1) Given those archaic, intellectually restrictive academic goals and standards and the inevitably confining testing system that must accompany them, we should not be surprised that America 2000 has made zero progress toward the creation of dramatically new and more effective public schools. You do not unleash anyone's creativity by dictating precisely what the outcome of that person's creative endeavor must be. This inevitable lack of progress is all too clearly borne out by the peculiarly familiar and unexciting nature of the handful of supposedly break-the-mold educational projects selected for funding by the New American Schools Development Corporation. None of our electoral ecstasy or the proposal for giving ourselves a momentary intellectual break, of course, should be taken to mean that our public schools are in dandy shape and that we can now relax and rest on our hard-won laurels. Just the opposite. Once freed from the intellectual confinement of the national goals and America 2000, we need to chart a quite different and more powerful educational course. …" @default.
