Regarding your (and everyone's) concerns about the quality of education, some really important stuff is being overlooked. There some very basic, determinative factors seldom addressed, causing our attention to go to things very resistive of change. For instance, note that students change almost instantly as they move from the room of one (poor) teacher to that of another (good) teacher. As conditions align accurately with their needs, they "turn on." This implies that school change need not take longer than a few days if we understand the conditions rightly. For some thoughts about that, the URL below is the main page for EdNews.org blogs on education.. A half dozen of mine are still noted there, representing some of the message I think national education needs to hear. Should you want more explanation, there's much more I can send, can answer questions. email jjensen@gci.net, or would enjoy talking-- 480-588-6200.
