This post starts off looking like a sensible response to Covid but shifts quickly into an ed reform agenda that by the end of the list of seven suggestions is the usual call to 'look for efficiencies' in the system (even while recognizing "we rarely find flagrant waste or huge inefficiencies"). The first suggestion, "rethink rigid class sizes", seems reasonable. So does taking "a more flexible approach to differentiating time". But how does the recommendation "to move away from across-the-board salary increases and ever-increasing benefits" address the pandemic? The recommendation to "revisait school staffing" seems equally suspicious.
