Talk It Over: Education
Homework For The New Administration And The 111th Congress
By Paul Gasbarra on November 17, 2008
Entering a new era in Washington is a good time for many things, including a good hard look at what needs to be done to improve our education system, from pre-kindergarten all the way up through college. With that in mind, we've put together an education reform "to do" list for the president-elect and members of the 111th Congress. We invite you to check out the list and then log on to our site to discuss the education issues you feel should be priorities in 2009.

I believe that education should be a first and high priority, to be follwed by addressing the infrastructure of our country. I wold like to see more funding for community colleges, especially in the way of expanded loan or scholarship opportunities. Community colleges offer a very cost-effective means for students to obtain their first two years of education.
To be successful students in high school, kids need better math & science foundations in elementary school. After generations of marginal results, it appears that the only way american students will achieve substantial improvements in math--meaning a passing grade in college statistics and beginning calculus--is by using methods of japanese educator Toru Kumon. Sure we need great instructors, but there is far too much emphasis on teachers. It's the quality of the curriculum that is most important. Even the best instructor will have bad results if s/he is forced to adhere to a badly written curriculum or teach from text books which are disorganized and confusing. Why aren't administrators comparing different curriculi, methods and systems. They need to forget about politics, egos and financial benefits and simply pick the system that gives the best results--whether the system comes from Sacramento or Tokyo--and based on past results, we really need to take a serious look at the japanese methods.
Great list.
It's a good start.
