I have a one word solution for the Editorial Board staff of The Herald: quit. Like your previous publisher, it has been long since you were relevant and your writing is tired and disheveled at best. Wednesday’s editorial about the lack of solutions in education is contrived and yet another example how far out of touch you are with the community your paper serves. You make someone like Aaron Reardon look engaged.
Are there people in education who lack the passion and creativity to be effective educators in our day and age? Of course; there is a plethora of them and your attempt to point that out is redundant and boring. As an editorial staff you are so far removed from what is really going on in classrooms mere blocks from your offices that you have no basis for an opinion.
If you were even remotely in tune with education you would know that there is a vast amount of people with tremendous vision and innovation making small miracles happen in the lives of children every day, and they are not only speaking up, but they are screaming at the top of their lungs for ideas of positive change, whether you are listening or not.
Please, I say to you the same thing I would say to someone in education who no longer or never did care: do us all a favor and get out of the way.
