Comment on Hacking Public Education

Comments

Here's why this needs to pass: we need bold changes, and we won't know what works until we try it. So here's a bold plan, which seems to work on paper. I wish Pennsylvania would try something like this, or at least something better than the "slash public education funding" plan.

Can you provide some details on the "bold" changes and how they improve education from the students perspective?

I think the definition of bold may be what is causing the disconnect. The two things I saw on the website that stood out were reduced class sizes and the reinstatement of cancelled programs. I can see how this benefits teachers, but am not sure how this improves reading, math and reasoning skills and increases the number of kids that are job/college ready.
