In response to “Hammond: Fewer tests, more flexiblity for STAAR
“
Why is Bill Hammond, CEO of Texas Association of Business, constantly viewed as "the Guru" on public education?
The guy has no background in public education and in fact is pretty uneducated
on the topic.
In fact, Hammond is the one who was a proponent of increasing class sizes
and cutting the number of teachers as a means to save money in education. All
the studies show that is a ridiculous option and it would hurt children even
more.
Hammond and other business people simply want to use their business methods
in education instead of recognizing that you can't have successful learning
outcomes that way.
Business is business and education is education... 2 separate
entities. We look to the wrong people to
guide us in resolving education issues.
