                    Conservatives Advocate a Change in Course
                    posted by: Cindy Omlin | November 29, 2010, 06:56 PM   

                    Heritage Foundation blogger Jennifer Marshall argues that since the mid-sixties when the federal government waded into local education policy with the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 (ESEA), countless billions have been spent to close the achievement gap with neglible effect. 

                    Marshall advocates a "bold new course on education" that includes three top priorities related to spending, local decision making, and parental choice in education.  She also advises that states tackle the teacher pension problem (now estimated to be unfunded by roughly $933 billion) and systemic education reform ideas at the state level that empower parents, students, teachers and taxpayers.

                    Do you think her ideas have merit and, if so, which ideas do you like best?
