Surprise surprise. Sunday’s NY Times had two very good editorials. More surprising however is that one is about education! “There are many reasons to improve education, to welcome immigrants and to advance other policies aimed at transforming the work force ad society. But a skills gap is not among them….Fretting about a skills gap that does not exist will not help.” There goes the whole excuse for privatizing our ”failed” school system that caused the so-called skills gap, and the skewing of the curriculum and on and on. So at last when I say the same thing people might not think I’m a kook—or at least not for that reason. I can say the NY Times says it’s true.
