Homework For The New Administration And The 111th Congress

Entering a new era in Washington is a good time for many things, including a good hard look at what needs to be done to improve our education system, from pre-kindergarten all the way up through college. With that in mind, we've put together an education reform "to do" list for the president-elect and members of the 111th Congress.
