  • A lack of reading comprehension is often from a lack of shared experience
    • (If we know enough about what is going on, we can figure out the pieces we do not know)
  • Education standardization is good
  • Instructions should be clear and not subject to interpretation
  • Paternal discipline is different from “No excuses”
  • Ethics are critical to success
  • Focus on outputs more than inputs
  • Once children have basic skills, “reading tests” are basically background information checks
  • Test based accountability has become an end to itself
  • “Is test prep cheating?”
  • Car manufactures focused only on driver-side safety until 2016 because insurance only tested and rated the driver-side
  • Schools are where kids go to EXPERIENCE societal engagement not just to learn it
