Education Specialists (blogpost 3)

After the reading and class discussion, one question that kept popping up in my brain is why do "education specialists" think that they know what's best for the students when in reality, they know nothing? From the reading, Ayers shows how the people from "central office" say that children who are acting out are on the spectrum. Or that the classroom should have no where to play and only desks. I just find it interesting that there has been all this research on how children should learn, yet we are going in the opposite direction. For example, scientists say that children have a hard time focusing on a subject early in the morning but schools are still starting at 6:30 in the morning. It is just very ironic.
