UPTON SINCLAIR WINNERS- 2009

Delia Stafford - Michael F. Shaughessy

As we look today at education in America, we would concur that today's teaching profession is the product of a mid-twentieth-century labor model; we need to rethink what the teaching profession should look like in the twenty-first century.I am sure UPTON SINCLAIR would agree. We know that $68 billion was spent on education in fiscal 2009. What has the economic-stimulus funding actually bought? What would Upton Sinclair say? He would probably conclude, “yes, this is way too much, especially since we have 7,000 students dropping out of school every day in America and many of our schools have become noted as dropout factories.” We need to rethink our schools and find ways to make them client centered, for the sake of the children. Do you think Oprah would help us?”:~)"
