You know they don't want true reform that will better students because they scapegoat teachers, who have virtually no control over the curriculum that they teach. If all of these non-educator reformers were serious about helping students, they'd be asking teachers, "What can we do to help you and your students be more successful." Instead, they come in and say I have all the answers, so do it this way, even though I've never been a teacher.
