'Risk' Assessment

The essayists over at Cato Unbound this month ask "Can the Schools Be Fixed? 'A Nation at Risk' Twenty-Five Years Later." Richard Rothstein of the Economic Policy Institute throws out the first pitch, arguing in part that the report's premise of declining academic achievement was flase, which in turn "set the nation on a school reform crusade that has done more harm than good." Responses will be forthcoming from FLOW co-founder Michael Strong, the Manhattan Institute's Sol Stern, and the American Enterprise Institute's Rick Hess. We look forward to the conversation!
