Are we deliberately trying to set ourselves up as the country that is becoming a nation of morons? I just read a very disturbing article written by a teenager who says, "According to guidelines endorsed by the National Education Association (NEA), a student should be assigned no more than 10 minutes per grade level per night.

Students are the building blocks that give shape and strength to the nation's progressive future. We have seen in the past that any great revolution; whether it is the Indian revolution or the Russian revolution, all were convinced by the young, ignited and educated minds.

The other day, I was sitting in a think tank meeting, and one of the icebreakers to get our brainstorming session warmed up was to; name three new technologies or innovations which might help improve or even revolutionize education in America.

There has been so much clamoring recently over reform in the education system that it makes my head spin trying to take in the entire conversation and try to understand what exactly is being said. Let me break down from the perspective of a classroom teacher what education reform looks like.

Education has, since the early 1700s, been a fundamental right for all citizens of this country. We have always recognized education as necessary for the development of good citizenship, stable society and a secure country. Today, those virtues have given way to the concepts of accountability and fiscal responsibility. Will these new parameters serve the nation and larger society better in the coming decades?
