Why Jacob and Emily* Still Can't Think:
The Dirty Dozen
A profound old saying, "what goes around comes around," is actually a pretty cynical depiction of our capacities as a society to learn from our mistakes. Confronted with collapse into a crater, our current politically distracted population and our bureaucratic institutions are just as likely to keep digging as seeking to find a path out. That thought was triggered about our K-12 education systems by three recent publications, by receipt of a batch of requested education data from Ohio's Department of Education, and by announcement of a large scale U.S. Congressional research effort on children's health care -- resulting in this post.

K-12 Education’s Slippery Slopes
This part of TNBJ’s three-part series on K-12 looks at a broad sweep of

evolved within our U.S. system of compulsory public education over a
century, and that may persistently impede its reform. To see or review Part One of this series, please click on Part One, K-12 Series.

K-12 Education: 20th Century Problems Mired in 21st Century Malaise With increasing tempo, no topic appears to generate more heat among otherwise normal adults, among state legislators and among those who proclaim K-12 teaching or management as their profession, than change in our system for educating our youth.
