Being a parent must be compromised, you pledge allegiance to justice for all, you swear that personal attachment can be rhythmic to the good of the people. But when the option comes down to your child or even abstraction of the well-being of a child you don't know, you will betray your principles against the extreme injustice of love. Then life takes revenge on the conceit that the fate of your child is in your hands at all. The held pathologies of adults, including yours, sometimes referred to as politics, find a way to infect the child's world. Only they can save their own lives. To hear more about the features, check out our full list or get the Audm iPhone app, our son received his first school interview shortly after the age of 2. Admission officers at a private school with beautifully crafted and enduring art and dance studios gave him paper and crayons. As she asked my wife and I about our work, our son drew a yellow circle over it. A rather cool green squiggle, the recruiting officer asked him what it was. Moon He chose this moment to display his first representative painting, and our hopes rose. But her jaw was trapped in an icy and unstable smile. Later, at a crowded open house for prospective families, hedge fund managers from former Soviet republics told me about good public schools in areas that accepted a high percentage of children with disabilities. As an insurance with private schools, he plans to grab this point at public schools by playing a special-needs system game, which he adds is not difficult to do. Wanting to distance myself from this project, I waved my hand at the room of parents desperate to cough up. $30,000 for preschoolers and said it was a total scam. I mean, the whole business of admission in interviews with 2-year-olds, hedge fund managers point out that if he reports my remarks to recruiting officers, he will have fewer competitors to worry about. When the rejection letter arrived, I took it hard as a comment about our son until my wife told me that a woman with a frozen smile had really interviewed us. We control ourselves that the school is not suitable for our family or us for it. It's a school for financial people. At a second private school, my wife looked intently with other parents behind one-way mirrors as our son engaged in group play with other toddlers. Their lives are safe or destroyed by all stocks or pushes. He's put on the waiting list, a place where preschoolers have won on a first-come, first-served basis. At the front of the row, parents lying in sleeping bags. They spent the night outside. The system that overwhelms our waking hours dictates our unthinkable dedication and pushes us like its Orthodox followers. An extraordinary belief, even the absurdity of exertion, is not a democracy, which often seems distant and fragile. It's a metropolis - a system that claims to reward talent and effort with top education and well-paid careers, a code of rigorous practice and generous blessings passed from generation to generation, the pressures of meritocracy make us apply to private schools when our son is 2 years old, not because we want him to attend private preschool, but because of where we live, allowing him to enter a good public kindergarten later, and if we fail by that point, most private school slots are filled. As a friend who started several months earlier reminded us we were behind the curve, then when he painted his moon. We add the highest options, such as financial ones, as well as many families we know. The mood of meritocracy is anxiety - low-grade panic when you show a few minutes late and all the seats are taken. New York City is densely populated, stratification social staircases and general pushes hold a glass of fun to the metropolis. Only New York will force me to wake up on a Saturday morning in February, put on my parka hat and fur and walk half a mile in predawn darkness to enroll our son, then just 17 months for preschool. I arrived to find myself the best 30th person on the line, leading from the school's locked front door up the pavement. Registration remains closed for two hours and the venue will be awarded first after the front of the row of parents lying in a sleeping bag. They spent the night outside. I stand in the cold with a strange mix of feelings. I hate the overwhelming parents who make everyone's lives more stressful. I was afraid that I would cheat the son of a slot without rising until the selfish hour of 5.30pm, and I was worried that we were all bound together in a crazy and heroic project that we could not escape or understand, driven by the ultimate devotion to the future of our own children. All for a preschool called The Distortion of Huggs.New York allows you to see the work of meritocracy in bright extremes, but the system itself is structured on the belief that, unlike in a society where individual success should be the basis for reward, and unlike in the inherited elites, those awards must be re-acquired by each new generation, namely every American. True metropolises came closest to realizing the rise of standardized testing in the 1950s, the civil rights movement and the opening of ivy league universities to the best and brightest, including women and minorities. The great expansion of opportunities followed, but in the past decade the system has hardened. From June 2018: 9.9 percent are new American aristocratic parents on the lucky shelf of this chasm staring down, causing them to be dizzy, irritated below, they see the dim world of processed food, obesity, addiction, online education scams, sluggish wages, outsourcing, rising sickness rates, and they pledge to do everything they can to prevent their children from falling down. They are married, cook organic families, read aloud at bedtime every night, bring crushed mortgages in homes in school districts that earn high scores, pay for music teachers and exam prep instructors, and donate repeatedly to fund too many alumni. The root of all this is inequality- and inequality produces a host of morbid symptoms, including a frantic scramble for status among members of the professional class whose most valuable acquisitions are not Mercedes plug-in hybrid SUV or family safari to Maasai Mara but a letter of acceptance from the university that is ranked in the top 10 of the US News & World Report. In his new book, The Meritocracy Trap, Yale law professor Daniel Markovits argues that this system transforms elite families into businesses and children into overly successful and flawless machines, while producing an economy that supports elite education and destroys the prospects of the middle class, which sinks into riches, Markovits describes the immense investment of money and time that good couples do in their children. By kindergarten, children of elite professionals are already two years old, middle-class children and the achievement gap is almost impossible to bridge. On the frozen sidewalk I felt a resurgence at the warp of meritocracy and also stayed there, cursing himself for being 30th in line.2.Shortly after he painted a picture of the moon, our son was interviewed at another private school, one of the most coveted in New York. It was the end of 2009, early in President Barack Obama's first term, and teachers wore brightly colored hope pendants that they created with their preschoolers. I suppressed the display disapproval. (If the face hanging from the teacher's neck is Sarah Palin's?) and reassures itself that the school is artistically valuable and progressive, it recruits the children of writers and other creatives and plays a group that monitors our son's success. He accepted. The school has a delicious feature. Two teachers in each class of 15 children, parents at the concert. Or playwrights, not just investment bankers; later opportunities in class in Latin to write poetry, puppets, mathematical theory, taught by passionate scholars. Once, unless the child is seriously messy, he faces little chance of ever having to leave until 15 years later, the school meets graduates with top universities with close ties to admissions offices. Students don't have to endure the repeated trauma of applying to new high schools and high schools in New York, forcing public school children. Our son has a place near the front of the line, protected from the most ruthless meritocracy. There is only one match and he has prevailed in the group play that has been reviewed. Two years later, we moved him to a public kindergarten. My wife and I are the product of public schools, no matter what torment they inflict on our younger self, we believe in them. We just had a second child. Private schools are starting to raise fees steeply every year in the future indefinitely. As tuition goes through $50,000, creatives will drop and provide a way to finance. I calculated that the precollege study of our two children would cost more than $1.5 million after tax. The current phrase for it is social justice. I wanted to use the word democracy because it conveys the idea of equality and the need for a common life among the people. No institution has the power to be human based on this concept than public schools. That's the original purpose. A general school, established by Horace Mann in the mid-19th century: to cultivate the knowledge and morality necessary for the success of the Republican government at the time. Embrace children of all religious, social and ethnic backgrounds. Democratic claims do not obliterate democracy, but they are in tension. One values equality and openness, success and safety, etc. Can't answer all your needs. One vision loss makes life poorer. An important task is to bring meritocracy and democracy into a relationship where they can coexist and even flourish. My wife and I are the product of public schools, no matter what torment they inflict on our younger self, we believe in them. We want our children to learn in a classroom similar to the city in which we live. We don't want them to grow up all within our bubbles, mostly white, highly educated and expensive, where 4-year-olds who hear 21,000 words a day get no confidence, no injury of advantage and imperfect feelings, even without knowingly that they are better than other children. Public schools are good for the people. Our city is one of the most racially and economically segregated cities in America. The gap in expertise separates white and Asian from black and Students in maths and English are great and growing. Some advocates argue that building more integrated schools will reduce those gaps. Whether the data proves conclusive or not to be mindful, half in America is knowing that schools with intense poverty are more likely to punish children who join them. This knowledge is what makes our decisions both political and fraught. From October 2017: Americans give up on public schools, that's a mistake. Our elementary school zone, two blocks from our house, has been a formidable reputation altogether. But not fast enough. Friends have pulled their children out after the second or third grade, so when we took the tour we confirmed with the desire of the school guide to go upstairs from the kindergarten classroom and see the upper grade as well. Students walking around the room without concentrating heavy air with listlessness seem to have little learning going on. Each year, schools become a few percentage points, the poor and the less black are the neighborhood. Gentrified, but the majority of white children have attended gifted and gifted schools within the school, who expect more and earn more. Schools are integrating and isolating at the same time. One day I was at the local playground with our son when I fell into a conversation with an elderly black woman who had lived in the neighborhood for a long time and understood everything about our school's dilemma, which became the only one that interested me. She scoffed at school. Our zone - it has been running so badly that it will have to be years to become passed. I'm talking about a second school half a dozen blocks away that might be fine if we apply. Her expression turned to alarm. Don't send him there. It's like an eternal curse is placed over everyone's agency or method of treatment. Most schools are poor and black. We assumed it would cause our children to fail. Because we know it's failing other kids. That year, when my 5-year-old son joined the daytime tour and open house, the evening became the second event. We enroll in eight or nine public schools. We enrolled in a remote school where we heard that a few children were removed from the district, only to find that there was a baby boom and the seat had already been claimed by the zone family. At the new school, one famous, promising orientation talker was blanched with educational jargon and toilets in the toilet, boys with. But we will

get a slot if it is offered. Among the schools we went to plead for was one of the few miles from our home that accepted children from many districts. The school combines economic and ethnic ity by designing a demographic that is close to the city. 38 percent white, 29 percent white, 29 percent white, 29 percent white, 29 percent white Black percentage, 24 percent Latino percentage, 7 percent Asian percentage. Truth alone makes schools rare in New York. Two-thirds of students performed at grade or higher in standardized tests, which made the school one of the higher achievements in the city (although we later learned that there was a large gap, as much as 50 percent, between results for wealthy, white and poor students, Latinos and black students). And the school seemed happy. Its teaching style is progressive --child-centered, based on experience, but the actual work is happening. The hall is covered with well-written elements. Part of the playground is devoted to the vegetable garden. This combination of diversity, success and well-being is almost unheard of in New York public schools. This school squares the hardest circle. It's a liberal white family dream. Admission rates are less than 10 percent. The summer before our son went to kindergarten, the administrator i wrote a letter making the case that our family and school was the perfect couple called with the news that our son had been on the waiting list. She gave me five minutes to find out. I don't need four and a half people. I see now that selfishness and vanity in me are tainted by decisions. I live in New York of a successful professional. I have no real connection, not at work, in friendship among neighbors, to the shared world of very different groups of cities that our sons are going to come in. I am ready to offer him an emissary to that world, a token of the spirit of my people. The same narcissistic pride that parents use on a child's excellent reporting card, now I feel about sending him on a yellow school bus to a named institution, starting with a few P.S.A. parents at a private school, responding as if we were handing out lottery tickets that won or even hurt our son, such as the brittle nature of meritocracy, and honestly, in the next few years, when we heard that a sixth-grade student at a private school was writing a document about The Odyssey, or when we watched our son and his friends sweat through a competitive middle school admission, we could not forget that we would never forget about the school. Before our son said I was a public school man. When I once asked him what that meant, he said, It means I'm not nasty. Paul Spella3.The public school is on the ground floor of a fivestorey old brick building and a long block next to the freeway. Middle and high school occupies the upper floors. The building has the usual formidable features of any public institution in York --- steel mesh over the window below, police officers at the check-in desk, yellow-scuffed walls, fluorescent lights with toxic PCBs, cage ladders, antique boilers and no air conditioning as if to lower the expectations of anyone who turned to the government for basic services. Bamboo flooring and a modern science laboratory of private schools evaded the desire for special refugees from the city. Our son's new school feels porous with it. I've hardly met an American public school since leaving high school, that is, in the late 1970s, in the Bay Area, the same year that the tax revolution began, avoiding California's stellar education system. Back then, nothing was asked by parents except that they paid taxes and sent their children to school, and everyone I knew went to local government schools. Now, local government schools, at least our sons are about to attend - can't work without parents. Donations at our schools pay the salaries of science teachers, Spanish teachers, substitute teachers. Because many of our PTA's poor families have had a hard time achieving their annual fundraising goals of $100,000 and some years, headteachers need to send parents a message warning that science or the arts are about to be cut. Elementary schools, many blocks away that organize zones for affluent neighborhoods, regularly raise $1 million - these schools are called private citizens. Schools in poor neighborhoods are trying to bring in 30,000 baht. This immense gap is the only way inequality that follows us into the public school system. We threw ourselves into a new school adventure. We delivered snacks in class when it was our week, I chaperoned a tot trip to study pigeons in a local park, and my wife cooked chilli for a fundraiser in the fall. The sense of the school's mission extends to a much bigger community, and therefore there is a money appeal when the fire drove families from another school out of homes and drove food after Hurricane Sandy devastated the New York area and the shoe drive for Syrian refugees in Jordan. When my wife came in one day to help in class, she was enlisted as a recessed monitor and asked to change the boy's underwear that she didn't know from another class that was dirty herself (volunteers had a limit, and that's it). The private schools we leave behind have let parents know they don't want to be excluded as exciting viewers on the show. But our son's kindergarten teacher is a strange man approaching retirement age, whose uniform is dreadlocks (he is white). Leather aprons, shorts and sandals with socks - send out frequently needed and straightforward SOS emails. When a class of 28 students was studying the New York coast, he applied for me to help build its modeling. A cargo ship like that parked outside Lower Manhattan, can I pick up four veneers by eight by 5/8 inches, cut in half with four suitable hinges and two dozen plumbing parts if they're not too expensive? He's going to pay for me. In the first winter, the city's school bus driver called the strike that lasted several weeks. I turned around with a few other parents who ferryed a group of children to and from school. Everyone who wants to sit will gather at the bus stop at 7:30 a.m. every morning and we'll know which parents can drive that day. The strike navigation requires flexible schedules and cars and puts huge pressure on families. The girls in our son's class, who live in a housing project a mile from the school, also stopped attending. Administrators seem to devote a lot of effort to rallying the families behind the bus driver's union to ensure that all children can go to school. That's the first sign of what will happen later of things that will make me alien in the end, and I may get trouble from it if I don't get my new role as a public school dad, collaborating with other parents to get us through a crisis.4.Parents have too little layers of skin. They lose the cuticle that can weaken the bruises and panic. In a divided city in a society that lacks skin - the intensity of all the worries and little progress is the shortest and perhaps the only way to get close between people who never cross paths. The kids become a good level. Parents have a common story that never stops absorbing them. In kindergarten, our son became friends with the boys in class, I would call Marcus. He has wicked eyes, a faint smile and an air of unimaginable peace, he is at ease with anyone, never visibly jittery or angry. His parents are immigrants from the Caribbean. His father drove a sanitation truck, and his mother was a nanny, the boss was the one who introduced marcus into the school lottery, the parents had connections and resources to know about the school, while those rarely did. Marcus's mother is quietly supporting her son, and Marcus is the kind of child that a good elementary school can mean a chance of life. His family and us were separated by race, classes and a dozen city blocks that spelled out the difference between the neighborhood with the tree-lined streets, regular garbage collection and upscale cupcake shops and neighborhoods with overhead wires and occasional shootings. If it wasn't for the school, we wouldn't have known Marcus's family. The boy's friendship endured throughout the elementary school and another, once when they were still in kindergarten, my wife walked with them in the neighborhood, near the school, and Marcus immediately announced. Do you imagine having a backyard? We have a backyard. Our son remains silent, whether out of shame or early instinct, that human connection requires some omission. Marcus's father would leave him at our house at the weekend - usually with a gift from a wonderful rum bottle from his home island, or I would pick up Marcus at their apartment building and drive the boys to a fight cage or bronx zoo. They usually play at our home, rarely at Marcus, which is much smaller. This agreement was established from the start without ever being discussed. If someone talks about it, we must confront the glaring inequality in a boy's life. I feel that friendship flourished in avoiding this important truth. At school, our sons fell in love with a group of boys who were not interested in attending a football game, lunch, their free playground scrums often led to great natural insults, wrestling matches, angry feelings, occasional punches, then reconciliation, until the next day. Teachers at private schools used to call our sons anti-authoritarian, and it was true: he pursued a friend who rebelled mildly, irritated teachers and lunch monitors that they didn't like, and he avoided the kids who often had their hands up and showed clear signs of parental ambition, an xenophobic meritocrat in me, not completely faded, and I tried to make our son be friends with a 9-year-old boy who read Animal Farm, but he brushed me off. He's going to do this his own way. The school's teaching focuses on learning through Instruction does not begin until the end of first grade. In mathematics, children are taught various strategies for multiplication and division, but time at the table is a parent's problem, rather than a worksheet and test, there are excursions to the shore and the Noguchi Sculpture Museum. Having our son worked for several weeks in the clay form of the Chinese noble tomb tower during the unit in ancient China, even as we were still volunteers, my wife and I never stopped wondering if we had cheated on our son in better education. We have ants with endless craft projects, indifference to spelling, but our son learns well only when the subject is interested in him. I want to learn the facts. The school's method - a year-long second-grade unit on the geology and bridges of New York - captures his imagination, while the mix of competition and class gives him something more valuable: The belief that no one is better than anyone, that everyone is equal and everyone is his. In this way, the school achieved its ultimate purpose, and then things began to change. But it grows with incredible speed and force, as new things tend to do today. It rose to the end of the Obama year, partly from the bullying with his first presidential promise. From increased expectations and irritability, especially among people under the age of 30, which is how most revolutions begin. This new mood is advancing, but not hope. A few years after a teacher at a private preschool had created an Obama pendant with their 4-year-olds, hope disappeared. At the heart of the new progress is the sometimes resentment, anger about the ongoing injustice, with groups of Americans who have been laid off from the suburbs of power and dignity. The incident was the police shooting of an unarmed black man. News reports of flesh-eating sexual behavior by the Hollywood mogul; professional quarterbacks who kneel during the national anthem will ignite a fire that will spread overnight and keep burning because it is fed by anger at deeper and older injustices than inflammatory events. Over time, the new mood uses substance and a solid edge of radically egalitarian ideology, at which point the ideology touches the policies it claims, and in some cases achieves major reforms: body cameras in the police, reducing imprisonment for nonviolent offenders, changes in the workplace, but its biggest influence comes in the realm over policy: private space where we think and imagine and talk and write and write, and public spaces where institutions shape our culture and protect the perimeter. Who's the new progressive driver? Young people, influencers on social media, leaders, cultural organizations, artists, journalists, educators, and many others choose democracy. You almost believe they speak for most people, but you are wrong. An American political poll published last year by a nonprofit called More in Common found that a majority of all groups, including black Americans, think political correctness is a problem. The only exception is a group that identifies as a progressive activist, only 8 percent of the population, and tends to be white, well-educated and wealthy. Other polls have found that white progressives read to embrace diversity and immigration and blame racism for the issue of minority groups rather than black Americans. New advances are a limited phenomenon. Most of them are aristocrats. Politics becomes most real, not in the media, but in your nervous system, where everything is more important and it's hard to be your true oppressor. Because of guilt or social pressure. It was a father at our son's school that I understood the meaning of the first new breakthrough and what I didn't like about it. Every spring begins in the third grade, public school students in New York State take two standardized tests that focus on the National Core Core Course, one in math, one in English. In the winter of 2015-16, our son's third year began to receive emails and flyers from the school about the upcoming test. They all carried a message that the test was not mandatory. Let yourself know! Whether your child is testing or not is your decision. During Presidents George W. Bush and Obama, statewide tests were used to improve low-performing schools by measuring students' abilities with awards (race to the top) and penalties (responsibility). These standardized tests can determine the fate of teachers and schools. Some schools have begun to devote months of time to preparing students for testing. In 2013, four families at our school, with administrative support, failed to pass the test. These parents decided that the tests were very stressful for students and teachers alike, consuming much of the school year with unconscious preparations and not related to the purpose of education, they were actually harmful, but even after the city alleviated the consequences of selective motion tests, participants did not participate in astronomical growth. In the spring of 2014, 250 children were kept out of the test. Criticism is also wider: Educators argue that the test is structurally biased, even racist, because non-outsider students have the lowest scores. I believe in assessment--I've done tests all my life, and I've used it as an educator. One black parent at our school who graduated from the prestigious New York State High School. But now I see it all differently. The standard test is the goalkeeper so people go out and I know who's at the bottom. It is torture for black, Latino and low-income children because they are not coping because of institutional racism. Our schools have become city-wide leaders of the new movement. The principal was interviewed by The New York Times. Opting out of participation became a form of civil disobedience, with its main tool of meritocracy, it began as a spontaneous grassroots protest against the wrong state of affairs. Then, at incredible speed, it transcends the realms of politics and becomes a form of moral abandonment with little tolerance for resentment. We took the school at face value when it said that this decision was ours to do. My wife attended a meeting for parents billed as Educational sessions, however. She asked a question that showed that we didn't make decisions about testing another parent, trying to get her straightforward quickly. The question doesn't exist -- no one wants her child to take the test. The purpose of the meeting was not to provide neutral information. Opting out of the necessary action - parents must sign and return the letter, and the administration needs to educate new parents about party calls, using other parents who have already accepted it because school staff are prohibited from publishing. We're not sure what to do. Instead of scoring teachers at our school, write a report that is deeply knowledgeable about each student. But we want to know if our son learns well with external standards. If he does the test, he will miss a couple of days in class, but he will learn to do basic work that will be part of his studies for many years to come. One day I asked another parent if her son would take the test. You made me awed. It's not about talking at school. Anything else about the non-participation movement made me difficult. Advocates claim that the test punishes poor and minority children. I started to think that real penalties could come from not accepting them. Opt-out has become so prevalent at our schools that the Ministry of Education does not have enough information to publish the information that prospective applicants have used to evaluate the school. In the category of student achievement The department is now providing our school. No rating No outsider can judge how the school educates children, including poor, black and Latino children. The school's methods leave gaps in areas such as schedules, long breaks, grammar and spelling. Families have a way of filling these gaps, as well as some families with limited means - Marcus's parents enrolled him in teaching math after school, but when a woman at our bus stop fell behind because she hadn't attended school for weeks after the death of her grandmother, the heart of the family had no objective measures to act as a flashing red light. The eviction test appears to be a way to let everyone off the hook. This is the price of meritocracy dismissal, I took the voice of the parents at our bus stop. Only a few people opened the test and they did not speak aloud. One parent tried to find a way for her daughter to take tests outside the school grounds. Everyone feels that non-participation is unpopular with principals, staff and parent leaders, which is the power structure of the school. Careful silence fell throughout the story. One day, while volunteering in our son's classroom, I asked another parent if her son would take it. She flashed a nervous smile and hushed me - it wasn't something to talk about at school. One teacher disagreed with the intensive test that when my wife and I asked what our son would miss during the exam day, she replied: Course! Students whose parents refuse to opt out will not be prepared at all. It shocked me that this would punish children that the movement should protect. If orthodoxy reduces resentment to whisper - if all the weight of public opinion at school resists testing, then I think our son should take them away. A week of testing, one of the administrators approached me in the school hallway. Have you made a decision yet? I told her our son would take the test. She is someone I've written about the ideal match between our values and the school's letter that might help our son off the waiting list. Back then, I never heard about the opt-out movement - it didn't exist, less than four years later. It's the only truth. I wonder if you feel like I've betrayed you. Later in the afternoon, we spent an hour on the phone. She described all the dangers that could arise with our son if he did the test - immense stress, the potential for demolition. I answered for our reasons for moving forward, we want him to learn this necessary skill. The conversation doesn't feel completely honest on both sides: she also wants to assert the school's position on the vanguard of the opt-out movement, not attending by up to 100 percent compliance, and I'd refuse to go. The test has become secondary. This is a political controversy. Our son is one of the 15 or so students who took the test, the 95 percent opt-out rate is a resounding achievement. It rivals the election results in Turkmenistan. For our son, he completed the test, feeling not victory or defeat. The problems that have roiled adulthood in his life don't seem to affect him at all. He returned to class and continued to work on his report on the mountain gorillas of Central Africa. Paul Spella6.The battlefield of new progress is identity. That is the historical source of exclusion and injustice that requires revenge. Over the past five years, identity has closed, exploration and revenge and creation in all domains, from television to cooking. Identity is the central topic of our conversation about music, the New York Times magazine announced in 2017, introducing a special issue that consists of 25 essays on popular music. Now it's all identity. The school's progressive teaching promotes a wonderful sense of intimacy for each child as a complex person, but progressive politics means grouping. When our son was in third or fourth grade, students began to create groups that met. Identity issues - race, gender, disability I understand the solidarity that may come from these meetings, but I'm also concerned that they may hold on to the differences that the school by its very nature does so much to reduce. Other less diverse schools in New York, including elite private schools, have taken to dividing their students by competing into relationship groups that raise awareness. I know many mixed-race families who transfer their children out of such schools because they are turned off by a relentless focus on competition. His son and friends, whose classroom education includes slavery and civil rights, hardly ever talk about race to anyone else. The school lives what it teaches. The bathroom crisis hit our school the same year our son tested the standard. The girl in the second grade has switched to male pronouns, uses Q, begins as a name, and begins to dress in boy clothes, Q also uses the boy's bathroom, which leads to problems with other boys. Q's mother spoke to the principal, who with her staff looked for answers. They may have met the real needs of students, such as Q, by building a single-stall bathroom, in which one of the second-floor clinics will act on purpose. But the school decided to completely get rid of the toilets of boys and girls. If, according to the city's Ministry of Education, then the school must allow students to use the bathroom of the gender identified themselves, then the removal of the label will clear up all confusion about the bathroom question. Practical issues are addressed based on new concepts about identity. Within two years, almost every bathroom in the school, from kindergarten to fifth grade, had become gender-neutral, where signs used to say that boys and girls now say students. Children will be reconditioned to new norms at a young age, where they will become the first group in history where sex is not involved in whether they sit or stand peeing. All biology involved, such as curiosity, fear, shame, aggression, pubescence, what lies between the legs, is removed or desires go away. The school does not inform parents of this sudden end to old traditions, as if there is nothing to discuss. Parents hear about it when the child starts arriving home, desperate to go to the bathroom after holding it all day. The girls tell the story of their parents, who have a boy kicking open the stall door. The boy is described as afraid to use a urinal. Our son reported that his classmates, without any collective decision, had returned to the old system, regardless of the new sign: the boy was using the old boy's room, the girl's room, the old girl's room. A familiar comeback is what politicians call common sense solutions, it's also a kind of heartbreak. Don't think to challenge the new rules of adulthood, a new idea of justice, but they found a way to avoid this difficulty that adults have adopted in their lives. It's a quiet testimony to be left alone. When parents knew about the toilet removal of boys and girls, they appeared at a PTA meeting, parents in one camp declared that the school betrayed their trust, and a woman threatened to pull her daughter out of school. Another parent in the camp argued that the gender label - and not just on the bathroom door - led to bullying, and the real problem was patriotism. It's a little drama of major cultural turmoil. Headteachers who seem to care more about selective movements don't join the test than bathroom issues explain the restrictions. She and her urged the establishment of a parent-teacher committee to address the issue. After six months of disruption, the Department of Education intervened: one bathroom would be gender neutral. In politics, identity is an appeal to authority -- the moral authority of the oppressed: I am who I am, which explains my views and makes it a reality. The politics of identity begins with the universal principles of equality, dignity and freedom, but in practice it becomes the end in itself - often a trap impasse where there is no easy escape and may not aspire to escape. Instead of equality, it sets up a new hierarchy that reverses the old, severed system, a new moral caste system that ranks people by oppressing their group's identity. It makes competition, which is a questionable and evil social structure, which is the essence that defines a person, regardless of agency or circumstance, such as when an agent. Ayanna Pressley said: 'We don't want a brown face anymore, we don't want to be a brown voice. We don't want black faces that don't want to be black. Sometimes new advances, for every minute to minute, carry the whiff of the 17th century with the hunt and denial of sin and the show of self-death. An atmosphere of psychological constraints on progressive milieus, self-censorship and fear of public deceit, the intolerance of these resentments is a feature of irrational politics. I asked myself if I moved to the wrong side of the good moral cause because its voice was too loud because it flicked something I didn't want to give up. It took me a very long time to see that new progressives not only carry their own politics more than I like. It is actually an enemy of principle, without which I do not believe that democracy can survive. Liberals are often slow to realize that there may be friendly and idealistic people who are less active for 2016 values.7.IN. Two obsessively quote our family - Hamilton and the presidential campaign. Singing along the Hamilton soundtrack every time we get in the car until the kids remember the wonderful, crowded and irresistible libretto. Our son specializes in Lafayette's top speed rap, and in our living room, he and his sister perform a duel between Hamilton and Burr. Musicals don't teach them in the latest revolution and early republics. It fills their world with an imaginative past, and while music is playing, history becomes more real than the present. Our daughter, who is about to start kindergarten at school, our son all identified with hamilton's characteristics. - She fights his battles, makes his arguments and condemns his enemies. Every time he dies, Read: How Lin-Manuel Miranda 'Hamilton' Shaped Hamilton's History and Campaigns Have A Curious Relationship In Our Lives The first acts as a disinfectant, the second cleans its most nasty effects. Donald Trump can sneer at Mexicans and train with Muslims and kick dirt on all the good and the good, but american promises continue to breathe whenever Puerto Rico's Hamilton and Jefferson Black get into rap battles over the National Bank. When our daughter saw a picture of the true founding father, she was shocked and a little disappointed that they were white. The only president our children know is black. Their experience gives them no context for Trump's brand of politics, the evil identity that causes other kinds of inflammation. We want them to believe that America is better than Trump and Hamilton continues to maintain faith in the air, despite the accumulated gravity of the facts. Our son, who started fourth grade, fell for a dark talk about the election, but when the Access Hollywood video appeared in October, he sang Jefferson's gleaming line about Hamilton's sex scandal: Never be president now! The next morning after the election, the children cried. They cry for people close to us, Muslims and immigrants who may be in danger, and perhaps they cry because of the lost illusion that their parents can do the right thing. Our son slept on the couch and cried irreparably until we put him at the bus stop. Next time we're in the car, we'll automatically put Hamilton in. When Dear Theodosia came, Burr and Hamilton sang to their newborn. If we lay a strong enough foundation, we will pass it on to you, we will give you the world and you will blow us all away. It's too much for me and my wife. We can no longer feel the romance of a young Republic. It was a long time before we listened to Hamilton again. A few weeks after the election, our daughter asked if Trump could separate our family. She needs to get an idea of a conversation about the threat to undocumented immigrants. We told her, Fortunately, we have the right as a citizen he can't take. I decided to sit down with the kids and read the bill right together. It doesn't make sense at all, but they have a fundamental idea--the president is not King George III, the Constitution is stronger than Trump. Some principles have not been abandoned, and they seem to be convinced. Our daughter said she hated being a child. Because you feel useless to do anything. The day after the launch, my wife took her to the Women's March in Midtown Manhattan. She made a sign that we were energetic as well, and in March she sang a protest song she knew. Many days after that, she walks around. The house shouted, show me what democracy looks like! Our son gets a little to join the cause and shake his fist. As he got older, he also understood the difficulties of the problem better, and they depressed him because he knew that the children could do very little. He was painfully aware of climate change throughout elementary school. Grade is devoted to recycling and sustainability, and in third grade, during the unit in Africa, he learned that every wildlife he loved was facing extinction. Humans are good for nothing but destroying the world. Our daughter is not immune to the heavy emotions she came back from school one day and expressed a desire not to be white so that she could not be enslaved in her consciousness. It doesn't seem like a moral victory for our children to grow up hating their species and themselves. We decided to reduce the political talk around them, not whether we wanted to hide the truth or provide false comfort. We just want them to have their childhood without carrying all the weight of the world, including the new president we are allowed to take office. We owe thousands to our children, apologise, the future looks terrible and somehow we expect them to fix it. Do they really have to confront this while they're still in elementary school? I can only imagine the blame -- to blame for everything I wrote here: your privileges make them survive. There is no answer for that - which is why it is a potent weapon, except to say that identity alone should not hold on or make the idea wrong, or we lose enlightenment to innocent tribes. Adults who draft young children as their cause may think they're empowering and turn them into virtuous people (friends call parents Instagram photos, posts of their children, wake up, selfish). In fact, adults are making themselves feel more righteous, soaking up another form of passionate pride, making their guilt and turning the burden of their own anxious struggle to a child who can't carry the burden because Lack of intellectual tools and political power Our goal should not be to tell children what to think. The point is to teach them what to think so that they can grow up to find their own answers. I hope our son's school will teach him to the people. At the age of 10, he studied ancient Chinese civilization, early Dutch Africa in New Amsterdam and marion. He learned about the genocide of Native Americans and slaves, but he never taught about the founding of the Republic. He did not learn that conflicting values and pragmatic compromises were the lives of their own governments. He doesn't get context for the definition of freedom of expression, no knowledge of the Democratic idea that Trump is trashing or the tools that citizens can hold those in power to account. Our son knows about the worst betrayal of democracy, including the one who darkened his childhood. But he didn't teach the principles of betrayal. Read: Civics's education helped create young voters and activists, civic teaching has declined since the 1960s, a casualty of political polarization, as each left and right accused one another of using the topic for anesthesia and with the public's basic knowledge of the American government. In recent years, citizens have returned again in some states. When our son enters fifth grade in the first year of the Trump presidency, there is no matter what is truly more powerful. If you fail seventh grade, you fail high school, if you fail high school, if you fail high school, you fail college, if you fail college, you fail, life fails. Every year, instead of testing students at the school, the museum presents a museum of educational matters, a combination of writing and craftsmanship on a particular topic. Parents walked through the classroom, reading, admiring and asking questions of students standing beside their projects. Nowadays, it's called stocks, it's my best experience at school. Some of the work is surprisingly good, all of this demonstrates the thoughts and efforts, and the coming together of parents and children feels like being aware of everything the school aspires to be our son's 5th grade share. It's different. The course of that year includes holocaust restoration and Jim Crow. Focus on the bystanders, who refuse to stand up to evil and raise their voices. It is educational in activity and there is no basis in citizen activity meant to speak out. In the end-of-year stock, fifth grade students offer dioramas on all the difficult issues now, such as sexual harassment, LGBTQ rights, gun violence. Our son made a plastic bag factory with the smoke snout of an endangered species. Compared to last year, writing is minimal and Students when questioned have little to say. They are not encouraged to research their topics, make intellectual findings, respond to potential controversies. Students in New York City public schools must enroll in high school. Then the Nobel Prize-winning algorithm matches each student to the school, and that's often where the students have to go. The city's high schools are notoriously weak. In our district, only three people have a reputation for being good, and the education professionals near us make a good living by offering counseling to panicked families. The whole process appears to be designed to increase the anxiety of a 10-year-old to the breaking point. If you fail a math test, you fail seventh grade, our daughter said one night at dinner time, looking ahead. If you fail seventh grade, you fail high school, if you fail high school, if you fail high school, you fail college, if you fail college, you fail life. We return to the perverse ness of the metropolis, but the country's politics have changed dramatically during our son's six years of primary school. Instead of hoping to tickle around the teacher's neck in the high school hall, one picture was posted of a card that said, Uh-oh! You receive this card because your rights allow you to make comments that others cannot accept or relate to. Check your permissions The card has a box that will be marked like a scorecard next to a white, Heterosexual Christian can snatch a citizen (our son hit the school off his list). This language is not uncommon in the educational world. A teacher in Saratoga Springs, New York, found Online privilege reflex forms with complex scoring methods and administered to high school students without realizing that the worksheet was clearly created by right-wing internet trolls. - It won the Jews 25 points of privilege and muslim docking. 50.High School scramble under 10- and 11-year-olds: Contests, races, outrage and heavy ideology The two systems do not coexist as much as pushing the children simultaneously, as opposed to extreme, unfavorable kingdoms to the delicate and complex creatures of the child's mind. If there is a relationship between the systems, I come to think of this: Wokeness prettifies. Success competitions make contestants feel better about the heartless world they are pushing their children. Continuous monitoring of your permissions is one way not to. It's up. On the day the letter of acceptance came to our school, some students cried. One of them is Marcus, who was paired with a high school he didn't want to attend. His mother went to talk to the administrator about the appeal. The administrator asked her why Marcus didn't go to a high school that shared the building with our school, which follows the same progressive approach as us, and that's one of the worst scores in the state. Marcus's mother was left in anger and despair. She had no desire for him to go to high school upstairs. Our son was in high school, well, September, he came back from the first day of school and told us something was wrong. His classmates don't look like kids in elementary school. We found a pie chart that broke his new school down by race, and it stunned him. Two-thirds of students are white or Asian, nearly a quarter are black or Latino. Competitive recruitment has created separate schools. He's going to be the last. Two years ago, Mayor Bill de Blasio announced a new initiative to integrate New York City's schools. Our district, which has enough white families for meaningful inclusion, has been chosen as a test case. Last year, the Board of Teachers, Parents and Activists in the District announced a proposal: remove the mathematical barriers that stand in the way of equality. The proposal eliminates admissions for high schools, such as behavioral attendance test grades, which are largely thought of as racial makeup at our son's new school. In the new system, students will continue to rank their choices, but algorithms are adapted to produce high schools that reflect the population of our district, making disadvantaged students important for 52 percent of seats. De Blasio's initiative has been a slogan for equality and excellence for all. It seeks to satisfy democracy and meritocracy in a single phrase. I went back back again and finally decided to support a new plan. My view is satisfactory because the change came too late to affect our son. I'd have been seriously tested if I had the chance to put him in the first experiment. Under the new system, the girl at his old bus stop paired with her 12th choice, and her parents decided to send her to a charter school. There's no doubt that other families are out of the public school system, but I've seen our sons flourish by going to elementary school that looks like a city. I have also seen meritocracy separated and demolished children based on their work in fourth grade. If you fail in high school, you're going Our daughter said: 'You fail in life, it's too early for a child's fat to be decided by that institution. Serve the people well. Read: Poor children who believe in the suffering of meritocracy I want to make a plan successful but I have serious doubt it came festooned with total dictatorship, the excess of new progress. It calls for the creation of a new diverse bureaucracy and relentless jargon, giving me hope that the author knows how to achieve a wonderful education for everyone. Rather than teaching citizens who face the complex truths of American democracy, the course will focus on the vast historical involvement of non-white groups & attempts to dispel many of the non-truth/lies associated with American history and the world. Of the 64 action items, there was only one item that discussed what was probably the most difficult issue: to support [county] educators in adopting best practices for classrooms that blend academic, racial and economic. How to make sure that children with greatly different abilities are successful in schools that have long been academically pursued? What to do without giving up on austerity altogether without losing the fastest learner? We faced this problem with our daughter, who was reading far more than her grades in kindergarten and begged her teacher for mathematical problems to solve the problem. When the school refused to accommodate her and our application to other public schools was unsuccessful, we moved her to a new STEM-focused private school over years at risk of boredom. We regret that the public school system is out of the public school system and we remain wary of the excessive competition of meritocracy, but we are not willing to abandon it altogether. The Department of Education doesn't seem to think about meritocracy at all, the whole focus is on achieving diversity and in eliminating racism that stands in that way. At the end of summer 2018, a public meeting was called in our district to discuss the integration plan. It was the height of the holiday season, but hundreds of parents, including me, showed up. Many have heard about the new plan, which embeds the results of an internal survey showing that most parents want to keep the system old. We were presented with a slideshow with photos of white adults snarling at black schoolchildren in the South in the 1960s, as if only vicious racism could motivate parents to resist the removal of an admissions system that met superior functioning with a more challenging position. Although the placement is the result of a large historical injustice, the rulers are compromised. A policy that tells them to discriminate against the needs of their children until that injustice is addressed is to seek failure. In the event that the definition of racism is not enough to intimidate dissidents when the presentation ends and hands dozens of hands fired up, one of the speakers of the progressive city council announced that he was not going to be able to do that. Don't ask me anything. He waved off the uproar that ensued, it was like opting out. The education session that my wife attended: The deal is finished. De Blasio's school mayor, Richard Carranza, has responded to critics about diversity initiatives by calling them out for racism and refusing to let them. As part of the initiative, Carranza has set out anti-bias training for all employees of the school system at a cost of $23 million. Among white supremacist values that need to be disrupted. In the name of exposing racial bias, the training creates its own kind. The legacy of racism, along with the false meritocracy in America today, allows children to be locked in where they live, is the main cause of inequality in the city's schools, but calling for racism and the elimination of objective standards will not create real equality or close the achievement gap, and could have a devastating effect by driving out families of all races who cling to the idea of real merit-based education. If inclusion is a necessary condition for equality, it is not enough. Equality is too important to be left in an ideology that rejects universal high schools values.9.In our son immediately makes friends with the same kind of children who have been his friends in elementary school outsiders, including Latino boys from the county's poorest neighborhoods. One day he told us about the N-word through which it was exchanged among other boys he knew, a system in which black children trampled on certain items to help white children use the word. We can't believe it exists, but it happened. When a white boy continued to use his pass all day, our son grabbed the imaginary paper and ripped it to pieces. He and his friends hear the official language of moral instruction, often it becomes a source of irony and banter: Hey, buddy, you really need to check your rights. When his teacher assigned students to write about their feelings about their identity, let the class know that whiteness was a source of guilt for her, our son told her he couldn't do it. The assignment is too personal and it doesn't have enough space for him to explain who makes him who he is. The school does not study math and science and reading. He asked us one day, Isn't it for teachers to tell us what to think of society? He responds when a child does it when an adult tells them what to think. Watching your children grow up will give you a vivid picture of the world you're going to leave behind. I can't tell you I'm Sanganeen some day. The image fills me with terror, a practical genius that Americans once known and admired, including the ability to educate our children --how did it neglect us? Now we are poached in anxiety and anger, feverish, with too bad thoughts absorbed in our own failure to spare our children, but one day the fever will break, and then they will grow and they must find themselves how to live together in a country that provides every child equal opportunity.
