Doug Truax on Education

	Doug Truax on Education

Allow parents and students more choices

American education is in desperate need of reform at all levels. We are too reliant on old, rigid models that are restricting choices and locking too many of our children into failure. Our higher education system costs way too much and is not taking advantages of modern technologies that could dramatically improve the product at significantly lower costs. Nowhere else in our culture are we lagging this far behind our potential, and that disconnect will dramatically undermine our potential as a country unless we come to grips with it. We need to strip away our rigid constructs and allow parents and students more choices in their journeys to build their futures.
