Our schools and their administrators and teachers are being held hostage by the massive publishing industry. Why are we still using paper-based learning materials such as books? The answer is because the school systems are locked into exclusive contracts with the publishers and they make good money from paper-based materials. The tragedy is that it is our children who suffer here. We must not neglect them! And we must try to better address their needs and strive diligently to stimulate their desire to learn and their inherent innovative nature. The recently released commission report, "Education in America -- What's to Be Done?" developed by Trigon-International provides a truly insightful analysis and puts forward a feasible and actionable solution to this growing national blight of not being able to properly educate our children.
