- Where Teachers Educate Their Own Children
-
Teachers are the proverbial canary in the coal mine, exiting public education in higher percentages than the rest of the population. What do they know most of us don't?
- High Schools Are Sinking
-
We must break our addiction to the "tranquilizing drug of gradualism." Why fundamental change in the structure of high school is essential.
- A Choice for Our Children
-
We need to attract more students to math, science, and engineering. The proposed charter high school with internships, project based learning, and increased flexibility is part of the answer.
