i guess one way to fix education in america is to … become education in america?

I’ve started a bit… its hard. Once you’re in the trenches it’s kinda nice because you see simple ways here and there that you actaully can fix whats wrong… well – at least one kid or class at a time, ya know? I guess the way to do this is to think globally (er, nationally) and act locally? It helps you to make you feel like you are doing something about it i suppose.

If anyone is interested in researching education reform/philosophy, i really recommend reading some John Dewey from about 100 years ago. That dude had it head on. Blame Thorndike for the mess of a system we have.
