Education Reform: Explosives Needed

Your guidance counselor speaks:

The current education system has little to do with the reality of over half of my students' lives and futures. It is a poorly run circus and my job is to hold the one-sized flaming hoop at one predetermined height and figure out a way to coax them to jump, limp or crawl through it, if they can at all. If they can't we have to find a way to move them out so their performance doesn't "ding" our school's ratings. Education needs not reforming, it needs to be blown up and re-built from the ground up.
