Welcome to Oz - excerpt from The Underground Philosophy of Education: Teaching is NOT for Dummies

The Wizard.
Here we have a magical being in power to solve all of the mysteries that lie within the field of education. I see this as the federal legislation that come from politicians, not educators who are in the classroom everyday and have a first-person view of what is really going on. As we see from the renowned tale, the wizard consists of mainly smoke and mirrors; a man behind a curtain. However, continue to follow me if you think that I am stating it as a bad thing. Through further analysis, you see that the intensions of the man behind the curtain are for the better; his persona just has been lost in midst of astronomical expectations. Just as in the movie, it is time to expose the wizard at his face value so that the practical solutions are realized. That way we all will discover the answers that might be right in front of our eyes, which have been blinded previously by the mysticism of politics and special interest.
