The best metaphor for education reform today is Dr. Seusss childrens book Yertle the Turtle. Yertle, the master turtle, forced all the other turtles to pile
themselves into a very high stack so that he could survey his kingdom. From where Yertle sat, perched on top, everything looked grand and glorious. Those on
the bottom were not experiencing anything but pain and frustration. When the pile collapsed, Yertle was brought back to earth and got his comeuppance. This
will likely be the fate of the politicians, economists, and business leaders who decided to reform the nations schools, at a distance, without consulting
working educators. Rativch, D. (2016, March 6). Solving the Mystery of Schools. The New York Review of Books. Retrieve from http://www.nybooks.com/articles/2016/03/24/solving-the-mystery-of-the-schools/
