Condoleezza Rice on education last night: Crisis in K-12 education is threat to America

by Maureen Downey

Condoleezza Rice said the crisis in education was a "grave threat to who we are." (Harry E. Walker/MCT)

A few of you asked that we discuss Condoleezza Rice’s education comments from her speech last night at the Republican National Convention.
Overall, her comments on education were the standard stuff: We need better teachers, higher standards and greater choice.
Since Rice’s speech focused on all the issues in this election with a wide-angle lens, she didn’t go deep on how to achieve those goals. And those goals are not as straightforward as they sound.
