Ahhh education. The last un-reformed sphere of American life. Throwing money at it does not help, so change is needed. At least lets be honest.
What gets me is that schools in the USA are under local control - no national curriculum, no State Boards of Ed. Why cant we test a few things here and there and see what works best??
We have 50 States and a zillion school districts - lets see if vouchers work, if performace pay works, if school uniforms/ single sex education works, Phonics -vs- Whole language.. A million debatable issues, lets try a few things and see the data that comes in...
