"How to Close the Achievement Gap" Newsweek 8/16/10
As schools in the United States cut back the school year and increase class sizes, Newsweek ranks us 26th in the world as far as education goes. Not very encouraging. In this short sidebar in an issue devoted to ranking the quality of life by country, two educational consultants offer common-sense advice--advice we aren't following, for the most part. Make sure that every child gets a basic education. Give kids an early start. Increase the length of the school day, and the length of the school year. Spend more on training and evaluating teachers. Help struggling kids with one-on-one support.
