Reduce the DOE to a rump department that only creates tests in order to set a standard. No carrots, no sticks, just a measurement that's useful to employers or higher ed to determine merit.

Leave the rest to states to figure it out.

Otherwise, you get the culture-damaging, brainwashing nightmare we currently endure.

Although I am a fan of Roland Fryer, we have known about powerful, high impact math instruction since the 1960s. Just Google Siegfried Engelmann and Direct Instruction.

Human Capital Management sounds disgusting!

A nice name for slavery?

It is interesting that double entry accounting is 700 years old but neither capitalists nor socialists advocate mandatory accounting in the schools. In the 1960s science fiction made science more interesting than science books. It is like SF was binoculars and science books were like microscopes. Way different perspective!

Now we have had decades of scientists not pointing out planned obsolescence and economists ignoring decades of depreciation. How much have Americans lost on the depreciation of automobiles since Sputnik?

Don't ask economists, they don't know. LOL
