Education Nation - will this work?

As we embark on another weekend, NBC is gearing up for what we hope will wake some of these educational guru drones in our school systems. They go about preaching change, spending billions of dollars on interventions, and in turn, let down our society. I'm not saying all interventions are bad, but when you are "training" kindergartners to color in the bubbles for a standardized test, that is "bad"! I don't agree with all that is projected in this TV exclusive but I do however agree that we have to do something! These poor kids! http://www.educationnation.com/
