The Learning Curve, Part II

Performance

Part II of our series on education focuses on performance. Part I looked behind the scenes at the politics of education; this installment looks at the classroom itself. Contributing writer Cathy Clark checks out programs for kids who aren’t planning on college. Newsweek’s Jamie Reno asks San Diego students how they really feel about their education. Also covered: what you get when you buy a private education, and how a classroom in a public school stacks up; parent involvement; troubles today’s teachers face; and how to easily understand standardized test scores.
