Strong American Schools has just released a new report, A Stagnant Nation: Why American Students are Still at Risk. The executive summary and full report can be access here.
A Nation at Risk was published 25 years ago. Since that time relatively few-- some would say virtually none--of the reforms recommended in that report have been implemented. For example, the original report suggested a 7 hour school day and between 200 and 220 school days per year. Nationally, the average school week has increased by just 36 minutes.
See this new report for additional examples and discussion.
