You have written well about the problem; however your next article should focus on some “cure”. Concrete solutions. And I am a bit reluctant to express my limitations in many of the areas you said “every one should know” and when thinking positive about my

Education certainly isn’t all we should be worried about, and you don’t have to be well-educated to be a good person. But schools aren’t doing what they are supposed to be doing, and that’s an issue.

As far as solutions go, my next post talks a bit about this, but stay tuned for more in future posts.

Right on it my man. The pine barrens are replete with the corpses of those who have attempted to buck the almighty teachers unions. When something is broken and it’s obvious to everyone who comes in contact with it, follow the money, follow the power.

Some of your best work yet! Our education system is surely broken and it’s thinkers like you who are the future and can fix it. You should send this to the Secretary of Educatiin!
