Last week, it was the ES Online Chat, “School Choice a la Carte.” This week, it’s Jeb Bush who makes the connection between education and food.
Education, he says, should be more like milk. “You can get flavored milk — chocolate, strawberry or vanilla — that doesn’t even taste like milk,” he said. “Most of the time, there is a whole other refrigerator case dedicated to milk alternatives — like soy milk, almond milk and rice milk. They even make milk for people who can’t drink milk.”
Easy to get hungry with all these food metaphors. But the real issue will be making sure that every child gets “fed” the best possible education as choice and customization expand.
