It used to be called education, now it's called reform

When is school reform not reform?

Ann Evans de Bernard, Ph.D, recently retired as principal of Waltersville School in Bridgeport.

 I was born in 1946 along with millions of other babies. So, when I started school, I sat in classrooms with upwards of 75 children until our cities and our parishes could get new schools built. After spending my first semester of second grade in the gym where I and 100 other children sat in desks nailed down into long rows trying to see our teacher in the front of the room, we finally moved into our new school. That was 1954. In 1957 I was in the first class to enter another new school and yet another one in 1960. When I got to college, there were hundreds of new dorms, a new library and new academic buildings. New schools were built because America did what America had to do to meet the needs of its children. It wasn't called reform. It was called education.
