The old system of education was “designed for the purpose of sorting and selecting” while a standards-based system requires “that we need to move away from that selecting and sorting system to one where everyone is proficient.” Plaintiffs’ lawyer Alexander Halpern asked if the school finance system has been changed to accommodate new demands. “To the best of my knowledge, it has not,” Hefty said. “We do not have the money to deliver on it.”
Hefty said what many in education, including myself, have been saying for years but which seems to either be ignored or misunderstood. We have moved from ranking and sorting students to a system in which we expect and demand all students meet standards.
In the old industrial model of education, which used a ranking and sorting system, schools sorted students into the 30-40 percent who went to college, the 40-50 percent who went into the workforce after high school, and the other 10-20 percent who either dropped out and entered the workforce, or who were encouraged to join the military.
