Bob Paton is an experienced and dedicated teacher who has ripped back the layers of political chicanery to reveal the often tragic consequences that have resulted from the ham-fisted federal policies imposed upon the states, who in turn, impose them on the school districts, who in their turn impose them upon the classroom teachers who, in order to meet scholastic improvement quotas and deadlines, 'teach the test' instead of getting at the root causes of scholastic underachievement. Moreover, the ham-fisted use of blunt bureaucratic instruments, such as heavy reliance on standardized testing, has given "systemic reform" a bad name among educators, parents and community leaders concerned about the welfare of children. The album's title track - but not its strongest - reads like a ham-fisted ``skateboarders of the world, unite'' checklist of the symptoms of adolescent malaise. |
