If education is as much about teaching as about learning, and about setting up conditions as well as finding out about them, then we must also pay attention to the processes through which those responsible for the legitimate constitutions of institutions deliberately shape those whom they recruit, change their practices, and even reconstitute their very organization.

This inability becomes for visitors a new order of datum, which can be used to educate oneself or others about the processes in which they are enmeshed, including family, schooling, and a complex economy.

Specifically, this article examines the telling of a (mis-)educative endeavor to “raise racial consciousness” as an educative endeavor.

Sort of. Mayoral control is s sensible first step for these systems, if pursued sensibly. It can facilitate coherent and disciplined leadership, but proposals should address concerns about transparency and be pursued with an eye to the future. Mayoral control is not a remedy in itself; it provides only an opportunity for smart reform.

By the teenage years, it is so potent as to swamp family and school. For example, in Britain, data for 1980 to 2008 show that the teenage years are exceptional in that contemporary youth have made no IQ gains over time, even though younger schoolchildren and adults have made significant gains. In America, the teenage years show black IQ steadily losing ground on white IQ. Although the role of black teenage subculture is in dispute, comparative data from Germany, where black subculture was absent, showed IQ parity between the races.
