Oddly enough, and despite what Moskowitz herself describes as an education she got without any help from teachers, Moskowitz still managed to attend the University of Pennsylvania and Johns Hopkins–and now she makes almost $500,000 per year as CEO of the Success Academy chain. (So student success really isn’t about teachers at all? Teachers aren’t important? It’s really about social or socioeconomic status? It’s really about privilege? It’s really about intellect? If Moskowitz could learn despite incompetent and drunk teachers, can’t anybody? Or is Moskowitz just some sort of superior species? I’m confused.)

Word. It makes no sense that those who came from public schools are now saying those schools are “terrible, terrible” places that don’t teach children well…but I somehow managed to teach myself….yeah, makes no sense to me, either.
