Tuesday, March 27, 2012 Education Ride 365: Rural, Suburban, Urban Schools--- A Provocative StatementFeel free to comment if you have a position or opinion regarding this controversial statement made to me today in a small Oklahoma town in response to a question I asked about continuous improvement in America's schools:
"Suburban school districts lead by a bunch in creating continuous improvement in American schools. Urban school districts are so full of problems they can only improve sporadically. Rural school districts also only improve sporadically because of the influence traditionalists have and a general denial that improvement is even needed." What do you think about this provocative assertion? Does this broad generalization correspond with your perception? Is this fair?

Harry said... This is a provocative statement, but it is entirely irrelevant. Even if such generalities are true, what is the value in comparing these three sets of schools? All schools, in fact, all organizations can improve. All would benefit from a focus on improvement. I doubt that anyone anywhere thinks there are no opportunities for improvement. Rather, the problem is having a constant focus on finding opportunities to improve and implementing improvements. If you don't believe in big improvements, start with little ones.
