Abstract

[When civil rights leader Malcolm X declared five decades ago “Education is our passport to the future,” he was unlikely investing infallible trust in the school system to carry the cross. The last two decades alone have printed out hundreds of texts chronicling the deleterious effects schools seem to be having on students—thriving in households nationwide by fanning the sweltering frustration, of parents, with the quality and content of school-based education. Concerned parents understand that if education should “draw out” degrees of greatness in students, the school system might be way of mark with an alarming fixation on provincial curricula and high test scores as metric scales to weigh intellectual worth.]
