Like a lot of nerds, my jaw dropped this weekend when, on the NYT‘s opinion page, Tom Friedman concluded that what our education system needs to help children perform better is … drum roll … better parents.
Well gosh, no one ever thought that before. Um, could you follow that up with a policy Rx, please?
Fortunately, Dana Goldstein has indeed done that, right here. Her column is a nice guide to school-reform thinking on precisely this question, with great links.
E.J. Graff writes on social-justice and human-rights issues, particularly discrimination and violence against women and children; marriage and family policy; and lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender lives. She is a resident scholar at the Brandeis Women’s Studies Research Center and the author of What Is Marriage For? The Strange Social History of Our Most Intimate Institution (Beacon Press, 1999, 2004). More by E.J. Graff
