Headlines
In a speech before the U.S. Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, President Obama listed how he would like to see education change.
One item is that he would like merit pay for teachers.
Other items President Obama stated he wants are to develop standards "that don't simply measure whether students can fill in a bubble on a test but whether they possess 21st century skills like problem-solving and critical thinking, entrepreneurship and creativity." He also said "The solution to low test scores is not lower standards; it's tougher, clearer standards.”
Which item do you think will get the headlines? Which would bring more meaningful change?

Mr. Levin, I am trying to reach you at comments-AT-coollessons, but the mailbox is full. I am interested in learning the status of Irish Immigrant 1840, the old ETC simulation from 1986, which you at one time had listed on your coollessons website. Thanks,
