Yong Zhao, international speaker and author of many articles and texts including, Catching Up or Leading the Way: American Education in the Age of Globalization, provides some great food for thought in this blog entry.
"The availability of choices in America is an envy of many countries. Having the option to choose different paths is not cheap or easily available. It is an advantage, a privilege, not a disadvantage or liability. A $10,000 education can and should buy much more than test scores while a $10 education can only buy test scores. Why do we want to turn a $10,000 education into one that can be achieved with $10?"
