Hello Will,
Read this recently ( http://curmudgucation.blogspot.com/2014/10/ma-committed-to-chasing-teachers-away.html ).
It looks like someone has proposals for improving our actually-not-that-bad educational system.
If you could keep a skeptical eye on this, that would be wonderful.
Got it. These issues are complicated and very important. I don’t have all the answers, but as they come forward, I give them careful thought.
