<br/><br/> "It was 20 years ago last spring [2003] that the American people were told, in eve-of-destruction fashion, that the nation's schools were so lax and unfocused that they posed an imminent risk to the nation's economic security....What resulted was what is doubtless the longest, sustained period of education 'reform' in the nation's history. And though all this activity has produced little measurable overall progress, politicians remain undaunted. So they continue to search for just the right mix of incentives and directives that will 'fix' what ails public schools....Many educators, on the other hand, were dubious back then of the report's assumptions and conclusions and remain so today." (STATE LEGISLATURES) This article reveals both sides of the debate over the quality of public education and presents opinions from leading education experts on how the American education system can be improved.
