"Mass Customized Learning." LOL. In my more cynical moments it seems hopeless to me, and I think that the vast majority of people working in education have no critical thinking ability whatsoever. I think the kids in the middle will do well even with poor curriculums and disorganized schools but it's those at the top or the bottom that really suffer due to all the chaos and reforms and trends which are based on basically nothing. "Equity" is all the rage around here, but no one seems to know what it actually means. Our district now wants to bus kids right past a middle school to a different one that is about 30 min. away, citing "race issues" even though the vast majority of students at all of the schools are white and middle or upper middle class.
