For once, blame the student

For once, blame the student - Yahoo! News

Add the parents, too. And, well, the schools. And the government.

Don't even get me started on the state of American education, especially here in California.

In an NPR interview, when the venerable and respected newsman Walter Cronkite was asked what he considered most important for the future of the U.S., Cronkite said, right off, "Education." Plain and simple as that.

It is very important for our country - in many ways.

My personal and extensive experience with education since 1970 - as a parent, school volunteer, college student, college tutor - is quite consistent with the article above.

Let's get going and do something about education already! All of us. And not just throwing $$$ at it - that's not the whole answer, not at all.
