Things are NOT Getting Better in School
ASCDSmartBrief.com announced the results of a study today that shows that drop-out rates in U.S public schools have remained “stagnant”.
It’s only ten more days until the presidential election and the subject of education has completely vanished from the campaign issues.
In the meantime, according to Anna Habash, of Education Trust:
“The U.S. is stagnating while other industrialized countries are surpassing us. And that is going to have a dramatic impact on our ability to compete.”
Hmmm! Sound familiar?
The report goes on to say that the USA is the ONLY industrialized country where students are less likely than their parents to graduate.
Well, the problem is NOT going to be resolved politically, no matter which candidate is elected President.
We the People are going to have to do something, like The Kingsland Plan, or face the consequences.

Dear Brennan,
The USA was one of the destination countries to continue education for many students around the world. It is hoped this post could make a musing for those who get involved in making the policy for education’s field.
Nice post! You brave.

Dear Tikno,
You are right! For many years, students have come from other countries to get a first-rate education in the USA.
While I still believe our medical schools have some fabulous training programs for graduate students, too many students here in the USA haven’t learned enough basics to even be admitted to these schools.
But change is coming!
Thanks for your comment,
