With all of the focus on education reform -- no approaches of which seem to be pleasing anyone -- what about this for a consideration: we don't need reform. I'm not saying the current system is perfect, and I'm not saying to become complacent or apathetic, but in most school systems have we simply come to that end of the rope where the amount of effort necessary to make the system better becomes, well, implausible? My consideration on giving up on the "all hands on deck, our schools are on the precipice of falling into the crapper" is not, however, based on the feeling that the extra effort is not worth it; it's based on looking at an even bigger picture than education across the US.

Deep down I've always been dancing the following theme here at bent spoon, but always been too timid to come out and write it. As I start to try to articulate it, however, you will quickly come to realize why: not because what I'm about to write is so outlandish or inflammatory, but because it's hard to quantify. Parents of school age children in particular -- but not to exclude anyone else who has ever parented or been parented (essentially anyone who chooses to engage in life) -- struggle with many issues in raising their kids. There is something palpable in the air. Life IS different now. Something IS different than what childhood and parenting was 30 years ago. Much of the difference is good, and welcomed, but that which is not right, has gone painfully wrong.
