TftF 87: Our Schools are a Hot Mess

In an article in the January/Febuary issue of the Atlantic Monthly entitled "First, Kill all the School Boards", Matt Miller tries to save American education. In the article Miller explains how centralizing all education in the spirit of Horrace Mann would turn around public education. Miller looks at funding, curriculum reform, and No Child Left Behind.

What can be done to yield the proficiency standards we have been paying for? Can we take local control of education away and give it to the federal government?

All this and more in this episode of Teaching for the Future.
