George Lucas Will Donate Disney $4 Billion To Education

27. Not all are served equally now.

Even in the same school, not all are served equally.

Or in the same classroom.

If we judge "equal" by outcome and not by process as a lot of administrators, politicians, and advocates do. It's an intellectually and educationally foolish position, but a politically wise one.

We understand that if you build a house with cheap, rotten lumber; use defective dry wall; have too much sand in the concrete the contractor gets from their vendor; etc., you get a poor outcome. Only an idiot would say that it can all be made up by "quality construction techniques." But we insist that if you have a student who doesn't study or practice their math and reading, has gaps in their knowledge, works too many hours, does drugs, can't be bothered to turn in work, and lacks role models that show a real belief that education matters it can all be made up by "quality instruction."
