Description

Keep teachers happy, expel disruptive kids or place them together in one classroom, establish a choice of education tracks such as the college track and the vocational track, and end grade inflation,* are discussed in this conversation with Indianapolis author Richard W. Garrett.  His book is "U.S. Education is in Trouble, Let's Fix It!:  22 Reform Proposals."

 

*47 % of high school graduates get A grades, giving parents a false sense of satisfaction.  Meanwhile, only 35 % or less pass standard examinations.
