The religion of self-improvement is a way of redirecting criticisms or outrage from socio-economic structures back to the individual, imprisoning any reformist or revolutionary impulse within our own feelings of inadequacy which is why the process of improving our nations schools has taken on the tone of a spiritual cleansing rather than a political reckoning. Now, instead of saying our socioeconomic system is failing us, an entire generation of children will learn to say, I have failed myself.
