Ian Mette, associate professor of educational leadership, co-wrote an opinion piece for the Atlanta Journal Constitution\u2019s<\/a> Get Schooled education blog titled, \u201cA generation endured test-centric schooling? Did it help?\u201d The piece was co-authored with Carl Glickman, professor emeritus of education at the University of Georgia. Mette and Glickman write that school reform efforts aimed at gathering more data through testing were supposed to \u201cidentify discrepancies across groups, specifically among racial and socioeconomic demographics.\u201d However, two decades later, they question whether society and schools are really better off. \u201cSadly, the ability to debate openly and honestly about issues of social justice, human rights, the value of peer-reviewed science, and the philosophical differences we have based on our own racial and cultural backgrounds is clearly under attack in our politics and our society at large,\u201d Mette and Glickman say. They argue that schools have an important role to play in building a stronger democracy. \u201cDecentralizing schools and empowering them to move away from testing regiments would allow schools to reengage with the needs of their communities, which come at a critical time based on the social era we are experiencing,\u201d they write.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
