Are Schools Really A “National Security Threat”

The recent Klein/Rice Panel on Education concluded in March, 2012 that our Pre K – 12 schools are so bad, they are a national security threat. Do you think this is so?

Also, what do you recommend that we do about this?  Our nonprofit organization, THE LEEEGH, now has 19 courses to offer to train teachers and principals, plus all staff at Pre K – 12 schools to help them meet the new demands on educators.  Please see: www.trainingforeducators.org.
