More and more videos in the classroom, more p.c. garbage (very few classics assigned), more journal writing in most classes, process over product, etc., etc., etc. (But the SAT scores have gone up thanks to renorming and reconstructing the test.)

We just agreed on a $73 M price tag to rebuild the high school. Why so high? The computers, of course. You can't have up to date OBE without them.
BTW the parents you criticize are products of public schools, no doubt.
The schools and all the people in them are to be "transformed"--another quote from report above.
