## Resource

Kids who never learned to read are graduating from high school. Illiterate students are heading off to college. And, while facing criticisms of failing American kids, the Department of Education is being folded. Authority on public schools is shifting back to the states. All of this is stirring a new debate. Where did public schools go wrong? How can they be fixed? But an even bigger issue hangs overhead: What if the foundation of the public school system was meant to fail in the first place?
