Observations and musings on the state of American education from a veteran teacher who has taught in the inner-city amidst poverty and violence, in a large suburban, diverse, and successful comprehensive high school, and in an elite, exclusive private school.
The interview concept through You Tube is a good one, but Obama's answers left something to be desired. Race to the Top and national standards are not so different than NCLB- how do we get away from reading and math focus with test scores and performance and into innovation and creativity? There has to be a better balance.
