Anita Hoge has done it again with a superb critique of education restructuring; this time coming to the assistance of the public school teacher in the trenches being required to change his/her teaching methods, etc. to suit the international corporate agenda. Hoge says in part “This paper reflects on the future of teaching as a profession. Methods, testing, and curricula are changing. Multiple non-academic demands knock on the classroom door. Have you heard about Goals 2000, Improving America’s Schools Act, School-to-Work? If you haven’t, please be introduced to the radical change of philosophy taking place in American education today. It is called Transformational Outcomes-Based Education; it is the vehicle for remolding the entire American education system to focus on “human resource development”…our nation’s President in 1997 announced that this country will forge ahead with national standards, national testing, and national curriculum. What does this mean to you, teacher?”
