For the first time in US history, the next generation of Americans may be less educated than the previous one. That's just one warning from a panel of experts in a must-read report that calls for a root-and-branch overhaul of public schools.
There are warnings that Americans face a grave risk of losing their prosperity and high quality of life to better educated workers overseas. A panel of education, labor and other public policy experts proposed a far-reaching redesign of the United States education system that would include having schools operated by independent contractors and giving states, rather than local districts, control over school financing.
