I like the new #onted math curriculum and while the timing may not be ideal, everyone should accept it. I know precisely one thing about public policy: when a govt this bad announces a good idea, you take it. When the good ideas are this scarce, there isn’t a bad time for them.

Am I saying Lecce did something right? Oh, god no. Of course not. The MoE has been developing this for some time. This is a solid plan from professional educators. His self-congratulatory tweets don’t change that fact. So let’s save our energy. The fight is elsewhere.

Standard disclaimer: I’m not an educator. I use the universal “we” because I consider education to be a common good that we must all vigorously defend and strengthen. I firmly believe that education is the foundational solution to absolutely all of our collective problems.
