We always
like to provide our readership with updated thoughts on articles we have
published. Readers will remember the
article in our 2012 issue of Volume 6 by Alice Ginsberg entitled “The Dog Ate
My Homework: Embracing Risk in the Chilling Climate of No Excuses Schools,”
that took a critical look at such schools. https://cedar.wwu.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1149&context=jec
Recently,
Valerie Strauss, an education reporter for the Washington Post, published an
article, “Some ‘no-excuses’ charter schools say they are changing. Are they?
Can they?” In the article, Strauss reflects on some recent exchanges of ideas
on the possibility or impossibility of changes in these schools.
We invite
thoughts and perspectives from our readers on this ongoing conversation.
