Thoughts on Independent Schools’ Responsibilities

Share

From time to time I post thoughts on issues of national policy to my blog at Education Week, which is called Independent Schools, Common Perspectives.

In the interest of bringing this content to the attention of Not Your Father’s School readers, I just wanted to let you know that today I posted a piece titled “Independent School Responsibilities: ‘Test Kitchens’ and Sustaining a Nation,” musing ways to expand the social value of independent schools in the education community as a whole–and wondering whether we don’t actually have something of an obligation to do this.

I hope you find this of interest.

ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF TRADITIONAL LANDS

I here affirm that the offices from which I work are situated on lands that have a very long and continuing history as a locus of residence, livelihood, traditional expression, and exchange by the Massachusett, Wampanoag, Abenaki, Mohawk, Wabanaki, Hohokam, O’odam, Salt River Pima, and Maricopa people. The servers for this website are situated on Ute and Goshute land. We make this acknowledgment to remind ourselves, our educational partners, and our friends of our shared obligation to acknowledge and work toward righting the inequities and injustices that have alienated indigenous peoples from the full occupation and utilization of these spaces.
