Yes washing all your clothes in the same Load turns out ok. Modern inks and detergents are far better than when the laundry rules were created. That’s a terrible analogy.
I think the problem with the article is it provides no comparison to other jurisdictions on there current state of education and what are the difference. Basically it just says test scores are down here’s what we are trying. It should be framed as these areas are worse than other jurisdictions and these areas are better. Other areas have done the following successful initiatives and we will adopt their policies in a few places while maintaining ours in areas of success.
Essentially that article adds no value or context to evaluate if the proposed changes are well designed.
I also think the methodology of students /teachers = class size is a flawed way of calculating and instead should be done on % of actual classes over and under a range of targets. It should be presented as a bell curve.
