He questions why parents should be restricted to government-run institutions, pointing out the benefits of competition with private schools. Friedman highlights a policy he supports on the Palo Alto school board, requiring proficiency in foreign languages for graduation, a standard uncommon in private schools. He argues for the freedom of choice in education, emphasizing the importance of allowing parents and students to prioritize their educational preferences over imposed standards.
A Nation at Risk +40 with Macke Raymond | Policy Stories
Forty years after the landmark report “A Nation at Risk” sounded the alarm on American education, a comprehensive review reveals that despite billions invested in countless reforms, reform efforts have been limited in their success. While a few deeply implemented interventions showed promise, the overall reform landscape has been characterized by rushed, incoherent efforts that failed to deliver sustained benefits to students. As policymakers seek to help schools and students rebound from online and hybrid schooling, they must heed the lessons of the past and pursue locally-grounded, coherent, and rigorously-evaluated strategies to finally deliver on the promise of educational excellence for all.
