If You Had To Explain America's Economic Success With One Word, That Word Would Be "education".... Until Now, The Results Of Educational Neglect Have Been Gradual - A Slow-motion Erosion Of America's Relative Position. But Things Are About To Get Much Worse, As The Economic Crisis ... Deals A Severe Blow To Education Across The Board.... We Need To Wake Up And Realize That One Of The Keys To Our Nation's Historic Success Is Now A Wasting Asset.

And In Its Heart, The Nation Knows It.
