Our Mission

We are dedicated to getting people to think about the most important part of Education Reform: the Education part. Far too often the focus has been on reform, so much so that there're babies and bathwater flying everywhere. People are so eager for a solution to our educational problems that they seize upon all sorts of new programs and ideas. But we've learned that new should be approached with caution.

People can call us crusaders but they can't change the fact that we are intensely dedicated to improving education for America's children.

It doesn't matter if they're in Public, Private, Parochial, Privatized, Independent or Charter Schools, we want them to get the best academic education possible. And it is possible, since back in the day we used to be very, very good at educating children! (This includes our cities, as well.)

We often think of how a wise old friend said to us, "I received a classical education in Philadelphia public schools."

But please, people, can we toss out the drama associated with the various ideologies? Please? Let's just do what's been proven to work around the nation and across the globe. Let's teach.

Our kids will thank us when we're old and wrinkled.
