Our public schools are a national disaster

Perhaps what’s most distressing about the latest collapse in high school test scores is that no one seems to be very distressed.  

You’ve probably heard the news that ACT scores have fallen for the sixth straight year. Our high school kids are less equipped for a job or college than at any time in three decades.  

Why isn’t anyone in Washington or anyone in our $800 billion education bureaucracy sounding the alarm and declaring this a national emergency? It certainly puts our national security, our technological superiority and our economic prosperity in grave danger.  

Instead of outrage, it is almost as if Americans have become anesthetized to bad news about our kids.
