What’s Wrong With Our Schools (Michael Zwaagstra - Regina)

 

Research Associate Michael Zwaagstra asks, whatever happened to common sense in education? Whether it is the lack of content in some school curricula, the anti-testing ideology promoted by many educators, the no-fail policies that have been enacted by some school boards, or the pervasiveness of what might be described as "edu-babble," there is growing concern with some of the more recent policies and practices in many Canadian public schools.  Audio of speech given to Lunch on the Frontier, Regina, August 23, 2010.
