What We’re Watching: Are American Schools Just Not Designed to Succeed?

In this AEI Vision Talk, Rick Hess talks about why why school reform could feel stuck, how we got here, and how we can do better. As Rick notes, “the core of our education system is 200 years old. Why are we shocked that a system designed in the early 1800s isn’t optimized for 2015?”

Released on January 21, 2015, this talk already has over 84,000 views on YouTube!
