The political conventions were about much more than education. They were about competing views of the future of our society. Neither party offered the vision that is necessary to move us to the 21st century, but those Republicans who used their prime time remarks as an occasion to attack teachers have a vision that goes back to the 19th century! Beneath issues of educational reform, there are political agendas that deal with the role of government and the place for tolerance in our society.
