The Trouble with “Disruption” and its Effect on Children
Disruption has become a popular buzzword in regard to schooling. Education reformers like to say disruption is a good thing—like shaking up a kaleidoscope to get a pretty picture. Never mind that those beautiful little pebbles in the kaleidoscope are real children. Nor is it with certainty that once you shake things up the picture will be pretty. For all we know the kaleidoscope might break, especially if you shake it too hard.
No. For most of us, disruption is more like putting a child on a Tilt-a-Whirl after a big meal.
But politicians and policymakers love the word disruption. Just the other day Jeb! Bush said on CNN I’m a proven leader. I disrupted the old order in Tallahassee. I relied on people like Marco Rubio and many others to follow my leadership and we moved the needle.
