Description
Introduction There is concern that the United States is losing its edge as a world leader in educating its citizens (Blow, 2011; Lee, 2010). There are at least three serious problems facing education--higher education and K-12--today. These include: working within austere budgets, making education interesting for students, and raising standards. There will be those who feel that educational standards cannot be raised without spending more money. If this is true, we are in deep trouble since most states are finding that it is difficult to raise taxes in this economic climate; pension costs and healthcare costs are soaring and a large number of people are unemployed and underemployed. It is doubtful that there will be huge amounts of money available to hire more teachers and/or reduce class size. Moreover, spending more money on the same approach to teaching may be throwing good money after the bad. An innovative solution is needed which this paper will address. First, let's examine the problems.
