The war of the companies with ends of lucre

International The vision technocrat and managerial of the education The war of the companies with ends of lucre By: Carlos Damian January 6, 2012 The educational system is changed to generate earnings and investment Mexico. - It is perhaps the most eminent voice against the reformists it is Diane Ravitch (DR), teacher in the University of New York, is author of 10 books, and former assistant of education in the federal administration of George Bush father. She gives us some of their ideas, among them we can notice that, the “magisterial profession is under it attacks of those that accuse the teachers for conditions beyond its control. They want to remove them their professionalism and to transform them into technicians in exams (…) they are able to remove the right to the educational ones of negotiating the collective contract, and this way of silencing their voices". It is what David Brooks tells us about the national educational politicians. DR also notices in its book 'The death and life of the great American School System' that, “in next years, the students will be subjected to more and more exams, the industry of the exams will put on weight, and the education quality will suffer even more. To be able to be rescued, the educational ones should only teach around the bad exams, the school districts will abandon the arts, and they will reduce the time around the exams like history, geography, civism, sciences and languages to have more time for the exams. There will be more scandals of traps with the qualifications of the evaluations that will determine the lives of careers of educational and directors. And the survival of their schools". The most recent in their declarations is that the companies with goals of lucre have the objective of “achieving earnings, not good education, and the way in that they generate earnings is to clip costs, and they make it substituting educational with experience for callow teacher, and with technology. They don't ask if it is good for the children or if this action improves the education, but if it increases the earnings on the investment". A callow education, and without freedom of teaching academy but with a lot of gain. Some of the critics of the change of educational system observe the managerial and conservative war, and they argue that it improves when applying the “forces from the market” to the public sector. In 2008, Susan Nenman, previously undersecretary of the teaching public sector in the time that was president George W. Bush, promoter of the NCLB Law, and teacher of the public sector, has pointed out in her moment that some of her colleagues come in this law to the “horse of Troyes", to impel the privatization notebook, and to demonstrate the “failure” of the public education, and this “way to make it explode a little". Richard Rothstein (RR), he has commented that the “instigators of the reformation movement deny the impact of the poverty on the students". In fact, the breach in academic acting among poor and rich it has been enlarged until 50 percent from 1980. This vision technocrat and managerial of the education it has been revealed, in Texas with 80 percent of the school meetings of the state approve a resolution in which they reject the standardized exams as base for the evaluation of educational and schools. In the New York City the statistics reprove the educational reformations implemented by the managerial and technological state. Later on in the Chicago City, September 10, 2012, in 25 years the union of teachers the strike exploded in demand of not opening more charter schools, a widespread evaluation, and teachers' funds with base in students' results in standardized exams. For the teachers this “horse of Troyes", it stopped later eight days, after concessions for both sides, being able to stop mayor Rahm Emanuel's managerial notebook, but the war continues. The expert in political educational RR comments that the strike was the first rebelliousness open of teachers to national scale for the efforts to evaluate, to punish and to reward to the educational ones based on the qualifications of its students in the standardized exams (…) the dissatisfaction of the teachers has been there, but a very organized union was needed to give practical expression to that dissatisfaction". we Find in Chicago, Illinois, a first call of rebelliousness. The managerial war The richest man in The States, Bill Gates makes sure that it named the education secretary in the last ten years and through his foundation Bill and Melinda Gates, it has used his massive resources to define the debate it has more than enough education in the nation, and next to other millionaires he is the main instigator of federal and state reformations that they are centered in the evaluation of teachers and schools with base in the results of standardized exams, the promotion of charter schools (semi privates), and the application of “market solutions", to what has been qualified surprisingly as an “unsuccessful” education system. This great influence is determined by the money used to foment and to impel in all the well-known environments its managerial vision in the charter schools. This commercial vision and technocrat of the public schools on the part of the Foundation Gates, it has ended up changing so much to the national educational sector in cities and states, as those formulated by the federal government. Arne Duncan, education secretary has been influenced by the recommendations of the Foundation Gates and his affiliated "reformers ". So much has been the influence of Gates that the federal government's politics and those formulated by the rich millionaire, they are not different. This Foundation has granted between 300 and 400 millions every year for education along one decade, in scholarships Harvard to deploy experts in “strategic data” to act as “agents of change” in school districts of Boston, LA City and other states of The States, and it hopes to dedicate more than 3 thousand 500 million dollars in these years.
