The coming of our community and our nation begins in our classrooms. There is no denying that we have work to do in this depreciatory area. A quick review of the most recent data reported by Program for Ecumenical Student Assessment (PISA), the international educational testing federation, shows that the U.S. ranked 13th in college graduation rates out of 34 countries surveyed. Only eight countries had debase high school graduation rates and, equally disappointing, U.S. students had not that scores on the core subjects of reading, science and math.
How do we pick up the classroom success of our youth, help them aspire to college and groom them to compete successfully in a highly competitive global marketplace? One riposte is certain: start early.
