It’s no secret that the US education system is not one of the world’s best. Of course US colleges are still the best in the world, but American middle/high schoolers generally test lower than similar students from other parts of the world. This is a good step in the right direction. Fixing our education problem is the key to creating a a good future for all of us. Now, lets teach those kids some damn algebra!

And with good reason. But I’m willing to give CA the benefit of the doubt on this one. Hopefully a sign of things to come…

CA finally does something to improve its education system! maybe CA’s educators trying to be better than dead last in all major metrics of education success… i’m skeptical.
