K-12 Education

If only I had a dime for every time I have heard the claim America needs to spend more money on education.

“The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly” was discussed at The Heartland Institute on Wednesday, March 14, 2018, at what was a continuation of The Patriot’s Toolbox Speakers series. 

This cave-in is entirely man-made.

Many parents and community leaders might have enjoyed attending a May 17th summit in Burlingame, California on “reimagining” pre-K–12 education, where attendees brainstormed “the next big thing” in school reform.

The traditional mindset of school voucher advocates and other education reformers is one of incrementalism. It is a philosophy that emphasizes tweaking a failing system by repairing its broken parts using a dose of competition provided by charter schools, vouchers, and other similar efforts. The idea is to work within the “box” of the traditional U.S. K–12 educational system, both public and private.
