Wasted Data, Wasted Dollars, Wasted Lives: Research indicates not only an assessment system failure in American Public Schools. We have a massive moral failure where private entities are profiting off the misery of our children, teachers, and parents as well.
We measure what doesn’t matter, and the results come back 6 too late. No one is reading the research, they are reading Influencers, Podcasters, CEOs, Political Think Tank Pundits,
Who should we listen to? Children, teachers, and parents. These voices remain silenced in education reform research. Keeping them silent keeps profits up and an endless cycle of failure going.
I invite you to watch the YouTube video Bob Greenberg filmed on Brainwaves Video Anthology of me discussing decades of education reform failures.

I am sending out an Assessment SOS. Research paints a massive moral failure of education reform in America.
Readers, this one needs to go viral. Our Public School Assessment System is broken and unfair and does more harm than good to children, teachers, and the public.

"Wasted Data, Wasted Dollars, Wasted Lives" is a powerful statement. It’s disheartening to see how the education system prioritizes profits over students' well-being. How can we amplify the voices of children, teachers, and parents to bring about meaningful reform?

You’re absolutely right—current assessment systems measure what doesn’t matter, and the delay in results makes them irrelevant. What specific changes would you recommend to better align assessments with real student needs?

Of course, acceptance is the oppressor of the status guo. First, requirement for change is rejection of the status quo. Barbara Kingsolver said:
Delete“The very least you can do in your life is figure out what you hope for. And the most you can do is live inside that hope," I always start telling the turth, and trust students and teachers always find hope and strength in truth. So, Prachil, we begin by living inside truth.

The idea of listening to children, teachers, and parents is so crucial yet often ignored. Why do you think these voices remain systematically silenced, and how can we push policymakers to prioritize them?

I completely agree with your critique of who we’re listening to—Influencers, Podcasters, CEOs, and Think Tanks are shaping policies they don’t understand. How do we redirect attention toward the actual stakeholders in education?

Thank you for highlighting the moral failure in education reform. Privatizing education profits off failure rather than success—how can we break this cycle and refocus on long-term student outcomes?
