Mr. Staples may be right, but here are some realities to be faced in the U.S. if we were to attempt radical change:
In the U.S. we do not have a culture of learning Our pop culture is focused on sports and entertainment
Education funding is a patchwork affair given the historic and Constitutional 'states rights' legacy
We spend too much on educational process with little positive incentive for good outcomes
Teachers' unions are focused primarily on their members' financial welfare and only secondarily on teacher excellence
