Education reforms meet classroom realities
Educators will remember the 1980s as the decade of education reform. How effective those reforms were will be debated into the next century. The present decade will also see a plethora of education reforms attempted and discarded by state and provincial legislatures, by school districts, and by university faculties of education.
When in the spring of 1983 the education reform movement declared war on the “rising tide of mediocrity,” I wrote that “out of this bombardment [of recommendations from task forces] could come a higher standard of education so that 20 years down the road people might say it was education’s finest hour.”[1] I expressed my optimism in Churchillian phrases. Yet, as we have progressed down the road to reform, I see little evidence that we are going to accomplish much of what began with such promise.

Online Bachelor Degree: Lower Unemployment and Higher Pay
According to the U.S. Department of Labor, unemployment rates fall and earnings rise for people who have more education. Not exactly rocket science — but if you’re a high school graduate working a 40-hour week, getting a bachelor’s degree may seem nearly impossible. Work, family and financial obligations don’t leave much time to attend a college or university full time. But a phenomenon called distance learning now makes it possible to pursue an online bachelor degree from the comfort of your own home.
In a nutshell, dozens of accredited colleges and universities now offer online bachelor degree programs that require students to spend little or no time on campus. The nation’s largest accredited private university, the University of Phoenix, offers online bachelor degree programs in business, technology, health care, education, and social and behavioral science. According to the
latest figures (2002) from the Department of Education website, the University of Phoenix had more than 107,000 students enrolled in a variety of classroom and online programs. Read the rest of this entry »
