One big picture corollary that they hint at but don’t fully address: we have a glut of people who are crendetialed as teachers but whose actual training and skill set is antithetical to teaching. They’re anti-teachers. It may be true that many of them have the best of intentions. It may be true that they have an ability to learn new information and change course. But a lot of them really just need to go.
This is an extremely difficult thing. People who went to college to be teachers, took out loans, devoted their lives to this, they don’t react well to being fired. But a lot of these people probably should be washing dishes or selling office supplies. They have a piece of paper that says they’re a teacher, but they can’t actually teach. This problem is most notable in the DEI industry, but in education, law, business, the rottenness of education, the hollowness of credentials, these are not problems that can be remediated with a little course correction. The vested interest of all these miseducated people in maintaining their social status and paying their loans is a massive force that has to be overcome to make any real social progress.
