What if teachers were asked ...?

Every time the establishment puts together a task force to
reform public education, it is staffed with the same people;
the current leadership in the failing endeavor.

Those who between them have hundreds of thousands of years
of current teaching experience, never sit at the table. The
token teacher seat is filled by an establishment appointment.

Why are we not asking everyday teachers for their input,
except manifest disrespect for their experience, expertise,
and opinions?

Speaking of which, nearly a third of a year has passed since
New Mexico Public Education Secretary
Designate Hanna Skandera passed over
native teachers to go elsewhere for
expert advice, link.

What progress have they made?
What question can they answer
after four months, that our own
teachers could not have answered,
and could not now answer,
the moment they are asked?
