Many people believe American public schools are failing.
We constantly hear the negative stories espoused by the critics of public education. As a result, there are misconceptions among the public concerning how our public school students are performing. We ve all heard the recent debates concerning public education. At the same time, it is difficult to argue against high standards for our students because we know that students do their best when held to high standards. Educators often do not have a chance to respond to the negative stories because they are too busy doing the important work on the front lines of public education.
