Public education is a complex problem? Maybe it is for someone who bounced around the nation. I wouldn't tout widely-available education as a plus. MOST of us wish to plunder the department of education so that we may have the opportunity of teaching our children how to read, spell, do mathematics and learn their way around a microscope.

>>The key question is: how we we improve it?
Quit funding the DoEd, and quit so much top-down meddling in what should be local decisions, for starters. Hence the reason this NSF / DoEd nonsense is so dangerous. It creates an environment where there is less and less local control over curriculum.

I misnamed the book. It's not just a path, it's a road. The Road to Reality.

No, I have no idea. You see, I'm just a public school teacher myself. I did find your original comment rude and uncalled for, though.
