Progress: Slowly But Surely Getting Serious about Educating Our Children
In her letter announcing the suspension of individual music lessons in the Quabbin school district, Dr. Marshall notes with regret that she felt compelled to take this step. I want to reassure her that she did the right thing—really the only responsible thing. Frankly, how anyone could imagine a functioning school system that responds to the individual whims of its students—that could pursue a reckless policy of disrupting an otherwise orderly schedule of standardized and standardizing instruction with the frivolity of music “education”—boggles the mind. Rather than regretting decisions like these, we should applaud them, and I personally appreciate the significance of offering this leadership in March—NAEA’s Youth Art Month. If only we had thought of this sooner, my daughter—at this moment on an 18-hour bus ride to Chicago to play (even the language of music doesn’t sound serious!) in a Percy Grainger festival—could instead be making her way to the national mean in alignment with the Common Core.
I know Dr. Marshall and many of the teachers to whose concerns she is responding in making this decision. They are serious people and capable educators. The fact that we live in a moment when decisions like this one seem inevitable is really the problem.
