The Secret of Educational Reform
You cannot change a complex order like education through top-down decision-making or even argumentation.
November 17, 2013
Education reform is impossible.
Reforming education from top down with changes by regulation or legislation is impossible, just as socialism is impossible. You cannot make a spontaneous order do what you want it to do by imposing order from the top. In socialism, for example, top-down efforts may cause the interacting parts to act differently but not the way the power at the top wants them to.
Even reforms of a specific organization are going to have unforeseen and unintended consequences. Small changes can spread through the system rapidly, while large changes are just as likely to have little to no effect.
