School Proposals in "Tough Choices" Report Could Face Frosty Reception from States
McNeil, Michele
Education Week, v26 n18 p1, 19 Jan 2007
This article describes how a 169-page report "Tough Choices or Tough Times" by the New Commission on the Skills of the American Workforce affect the educational and economic stability of the United States. The report says, that the United States is losing ground in the global economy because the nation's education system is failing at all levels and the American standard of living will decline. Here, the panel suggested a solution to have a makeover of the public education system. Many of the ambitious recommendations envisioned by a high-powered commission for an overhaul of the public education system would fall to the states for implementation.
