The toledoblade.com here comments on new poll results from ETS. Once again, the discussion reported is which to do of more of the same: pay teachers more, tougher curriculum, tests, and so forth. Why not do something different? Most high school students have restricted internet access and reliance on the the sort of textbooks their grandparents had. Why not get them freely online, get laptops to them and let them engage the sort of knowledge they will be expected to deal with if they get to college? There’s a challenge for the kids — and for Ohio educators and policy folk.
