reform? In paleontology

Man Ray, Black and White , 1936

I listen to a radio a little lame but who deserves to spend the singers I like, dead for most. If one stops his ears to the chuckles of and facilitators for the "information", this station can be pleasant to listen.
Alas, I can bypass the flash "news" in the morning. They can not avoid talk of strikes, but we feel that it gives them a little. To relieve morning they diffused a heading "tricks" to avoid nasty protesters "yes because y'en fed up" (on the tone of "I'm still broke a nail"). Moving on.
I think the presenter (a journalist? "I dare believe it) has a single sentence to introduce every social movement, that copy-paste as needed. Students, researchers, teachers, workers, hospital staff, know that you fight all "against reform." Point. There you are "informed" ... We
extinguish his post roaring "but finally they accept anything, they want nothing moves or what!" if it was equipped with the IQ of Miss tips. Fortunately, I am equipped with a small Robert and I know my alphabet. So here we go:

"Reform: Improving scope in the moral or social development."

I ask the question: the government's plan for school, for example, is it reform?

Here is what the teacher thinks researcher Philip Meirieu (from his website )

"We know the key measures came from more than a year, to undermine the school French: new programs for primary school on the pretext of strengthening the" basic skills "are the student an "exercise machine" and deprive poor children access to the meaning of tasks and culture phasing out of school ... RASED that could provide students in big trouble adaptive aids during the removal of ... Saturday morning at the expense of balance of life for children ... establishment of systematic evaluations, teaching without justification, simply to provide indicators to parents reduced to the status of "clients" ... gradual disappearance of the school map with the promise that families can choose schools for their children when in reality it is the schools which select their pupils, thus widening inequalities ... abolition of Aid to artistic and cultural initiatives when they should, instead, strengthen to compensate for the idiocy of television and the fight against sideration by video games ... disappearance of any real dual vocational training for teachers now condemned to oscillate between repression and depression ... abandon any ambitions for colleges left fallow while many of them are on the verge of explosion ... contemptuous treatment of the movements of Education People and teaching some of which are seriously threatened in their role in supporting the school ...

These measures are presented as "reforms" but I refuse, for my part to call them. First, because it would imply that this the "necessary changes" and that those who oppose it are conservatives. On the other hand, because the dominant ideology and government rhetoric have always these "reforms" as inevitable : "There is no alternative if we want our children to know ... read it ... do not waste our taxes ... we hold our place in the world ... etc.. . In reality, there are always alternatives. And the role of policy is precisely to present scenarios showing the chances and risks they entail, refer them to the purposes intended and available means. A minimum it is for policymakers to involve all partners in the exploration of these scenarios and to involve researchers to illuminate the choice ... But what do we see? Unilateral decisions, rushed, without proper anticipation of their consequences, without any mobilization of civic intelligence. "
