State Superintendent Molly Spearman wants to change the goal of South Carolina's education system to read more than "Minimally Adequate." We can change all the wording we want, but let's be honest: the system isn't delivering minimally adequate. If it was, there wouldn't be so many complaints.
Reality check: adequate IS adequate. What we're delivering now to too many students, especially the poor and black, is inadequate education.
Yes, teachers need more pay. They certainly deserve better working conditions and more respect.
Changing the wording may make us feel good. It will have zero effect on educational outcomes.
