George Maragos on Education

 


Competition among states with freedom to innovate

Race to the Top is the latest federal education program that will spend billions of dollars while our children continue to under-perform. It is time to recognize that the federal government has failed our children. Regulations on top of more regulations do not educate; a new approach is required. The federal Department of Education should be abolished and authority be given back to the states. Competition among the states with freedom to innovate will result in improved quality of education.
