100 Word Summary

Herbert’s argument concentrates upon the current education system of the 21st century. He regards the flawed nature by scores of our current students among the global community and how colleagues around him reflect and debate on improving the current state of the system. The actions that Herbert finds best are to improve the quality of teachers entering and working inside their field, and improving public schools based on alternative methods of private and charter schools. He feels that the state of education fits to post-World War II needs, a 20th century society, rather than the post-9/11 society that exists today.
