		<description><![CDATA[Waiting for Superman is a GREAT movie. But something should be added!! While waiting and working for super schools with super teachers, we can do this immediately: show every kid how to learn everything known by humankind through the device they already have.

		<description><![CDATA[This morning politicians are peppering their purported plans for the post-election with doing something about the public (government) education at local, state, and federal level that is failing yet another generation of children. These promises are look-good, feel-good for politicians, but they never work because they keep trying to make relevant something obsolete.

A Washington Post Opinion piece this morning makes two things plain: the leaders of massive failing USA public schools have no new ideas, and any kid can tell you what is really needed.
This WaPo featured article is actually titled: &#8220;How to fix our schools,&#8221; and signed by the top individuals running the biggest districts where [...]]]></description>

Nearly seven million people have watched this video on YouTube. It is inspirational in many ways, most powerfully for me in its haunting echos of those trapped below the decks of slave ships.
