The article seems to be more interested in mocking other people's social/political ideas than talking about the <i>actual</i> problem, viz., ineffective schooling. Smugly telling someone that what they're doing is a bad idea doesn't really accomplish much, even (perhaps especially!) when it's true. Why not talk about how to make things better?<p>I tend to suspect the answer to that is "because the author is more interested in political cheap shots than in problem solving", but I admit to being reflexively cynical about such things.
