No other country, with a history of successful education, applies economic principles of competition and incentives to the teaching profession. Itâs too narrow-focused. There are so many other variables to consider. Community, family, individual differences. Schools are not factories. No other nation, with a successful school system, abandons courses in cultural subjects, like music and foreign languages, to focus only on basic skills and testing. Schools work best when teachers collaborate to help students, not when they compete for higher scores and bonuses. Otherwise, the lesson weâre teaching our children is: how best to be nothing more than a fucking commodity.
In education, collaboration is not socialism !!
