Those who neglect to teach their children well condemn their grandchildren to slavery of one sort or another.
There is a lot of noise around the subject of educational reform these days. Everyone has a sense that something is deeply wrong with our public school system, but no one can agree on what it is and how to fix it. “Fixing Education: One Dad's Quest to Unclog the Bathroom Sink, Redesign School, and Save the World” cuts through the clutter. The public school system has major design flaws that are now reaching a breaking point. Students are paying the price today. The nation will pay the price in the future. We must redesign the public school system to be an improvement and innovation machine instead of a lumbering behemoth incapable of adapting to a changing world. Systemic flaws and mismanagement threaten the foundation of our society, a highly skilled and literate citizenry. Modern technology provides new solutions and more options to today's students, parents, and teachers than has ever been available before. For the first time since the creation of the public school system, we can do a better job. Don't you think we should fix education?
