Читать книгу From Reopen to Reinvent - Michael B. Horn - Страница 15

In a podcast called Class Disrupted that I started during the pandemic with Diane Tavenner, the founder of Summit Public Schools, a network of 11 schools in California and Washington State, we told two stories of fictional students to illuminate a flawed education system that treats students not as individuals but as parts of a group.

The first student we called Jeremy, an only child of a single mom who works multiple minimum-wage jobs, which leaves Jeremy home alone at many points during the day. The other student we called Julia, a student from an upper-middle-class home with lots of parental support.

In the podcast, we talked about why and how the school system doesn't work well for students like Jeremy along three dimensions: resources, curriculum, and sorting.
