In this article we can see how politicians are trying to take over the educational system. Even though studies showed that public school students have better test results than private school students the results were ignored by the government and considered irrelevant. Instead of paying attention to the results of that study which is important, other studies are being carried out with irrelevant topics that don't deal with the true problems in the educational system.
In my opinion the educational system shouldn't be controlled by the government because they don't really know how to work with the problems of education. It is real easy for a politician to tell the educators to rely on scientific methods in education, but since it isn't a highly reliable method it may contain material isn't useful to the students or the teachers resulting in no solution for the true problems that should be solved.

Hello all its Juan Luis. According to the "Usefulness of Education Research questioned" article, I agree with my classmates when they say that education cant be taken over the government and politicians, those people dont even know what is happening in the schools. The department of education needs people that are true educators and have the desire and motivation to work with all the situations that happen. As for the law of No Child Left Behind I sincerely think it simply holds back the schools and students to keep succeeding, its great that it wants everyone to be at a same level of knowledge and all that, but we are not robots, we are human beings, and we learn in different ways, some learn faster while others slower and that is just something that NCLB cant see. I also dont understand why they would want the students that are doing well on the public schools changed to the private schools, those students should stay where they are because they are the ones that can serve as examples and motivation for the rest of the students, the schools can even use them to help the other students suceed academically as well. Due to this we see how the government cannot take over the Department of Education since I bet that once those politcians graduated from high school they havent stepped into a classroom ever since.
I think what you said is true, politicians are trying to take over the education. I think that the people that has the education and ability to take over the educational system and improve it, are the ones who should take the "staff". When we have politicians talking about education it makes many people wonder: How long have they've been out of schooll?
