A Nation at Risk +40 with Macke Raymond | Policy Stories

Forty years after the landmark report "A Nation at Risk" sounded the alarm on American education, a comprehensive review reveals that despite billions invested in countless reforms, reform efforts have been limited in their success. While a few deeply implemented interventions showed promise, the overall reform landscape has been characterized by rushed, incoherent efforts that failed to deliver sustained benefits to students. As policymakers seek to help schools and students rebound from online and hybrid schooling, they must heed the lessons of the past and pursue locally-grounded, coherent, and rigorously-evaluated strategies to finally deliver on the promise of educational excellence for all.

Public schools are among the most ossified bureaucracies in the country. Moreover as the school closures during the pandemic showed, there's an alliance between public sector unions and politicians which puts the interests of students as secondary considerations.

Problem is, you have to trust Academia (researchers, teachers and administrations?)... I'm not sure they can be trusted at the moment. First, remove the beureaucratic rot and intersectional cultists, then maybe you have a chance.
