Just to interject one of my general pet peeves about any discussion on education - they all dance from one broad generality to another, painting some as good and some as bad and leaving an air that we just need a few more good big concepts and fewer bad ones, then all will be well.

I agree that a "few more good big concepts and fewer bad ones" are unlikely to make all well.

That's why I disagree with the rather simplistic notion that
throwing more money at the problem is the panacea.

It's one of those "big concepts" that sounds good
in the abstract.

So I guess I can put your remarks in the "agreed" column:-)
