It’s Time to Rethink School with Don Nielsen, Discovery Institute
For more than four decades, our public schools have failed to adequately educate more than half of our children. Now, with the pandemic, the problem is even worse. Many of our children have lost at least a year of school and their social development has also suffered. Though we have fully funded our schools, during this time, supplemented with an enormous one-time grant from the Federal Government, there has been no fundamental change in how our schools operate and, therefore, we should not expect any change in the outcome. Our failing education system is still a failing education system, only more expensive. Nothing will change, improve, or get fixed if we keep school as it has always been. It’s time to rethink school.
