I found his note at the end most interesting and mirrors my observations since. Governmental standards are making our children math-illiterate. There should be a myriad of different schools with different specialties. There should be schools for the learning impaired as well as the gifted. If every school was private it would allow experimentation with every form of teaching and promote innovation and effective methods to be discovered and thrive. One size fits all education works as well for education as it does for clothes.
