A meditation on why the schools are bad. Is it enough to discuss what the Education Establishment does with Its vast budgets?

 Maybe it's also necessary to contemplate what we put up with. The Education Establishment does not function in a vacuum. It's functioning in the middle of 300+ million people. Maybe if our standards were higher...Maybe if we put pressure on the professors to do a better job...Maybe if we understood the real intellectual and ideological dynamics.... 

Thomas Jefferson introduces us to the idea that what we pick is what we deserve:

Bottom line, we need to improve K-12 in 2018. Here is a press release about "Saving K-12," which provides a blueprint for improving our schools.   http://www.digitaljournal.com/pr/3587361

Meanwhile, "Saving K-12" remains a great gift for smart people. Please, no more translations of esoteric poetry. Instead, get to know our elite educators. They are fun because they are recklessly ambitious and sneaky.
