When it comes to education, PhD really does stand for "Piled high and Deep."
I taught high school math and physics for nearly 20 years. I'm done. NCLB, Race to the Top, Common Core and so many other magic bullets have done nothing but run up costs, lower creativity among students and teachers and generally run education into the ground.
