This is just one reason why education must change.
We need to seriously look at how to improve education in the United States in order to offer a World Class education. Here are some futuristic ideas.
1. Decide to concentrate on quality not quantity. Instead of smaller class sizes which means more teachers, let’s concentrate on better teachers.
2. Collect and catalog all the best videos of teachers. We need to focus on the best of the best videos and teachers that motivate.
3. Allow vouchers to be used. Parents will pick the best schools which will encourage all schools to get better via supply and demand.
4. Meet in classes for group or team projects as well as testing. Students will want to socialize and test scores can be verified.
5. Encourage service for student grants. Do military or community service in exchange for student grants or loans.
Let’s make some positive change. Here is more information.

I understand completely.
I just happen to believe costs can be reduced by using video. Then maybe the US can soar to the top of the world rankings.
