When this report came out, I was a freshman in college and had not yet decided to be an educator. Where were you? What were you doing?

Twenty-five years ago I was in Mrs. Brewer's civics class at Whittier Middle School. I don't recall every detail about checks & balances learned in that class but I appreciate Mrs. Brewer's passion for the underlying theme of "get involved" - now more than ever. Oh, I also still use the decision trees she taught us how to make.

This is an interesting statement ..
The report wasn't the first call for education reform, but it garnered unusual attention because of its plain language, which linked the future of the economy to public schooling, and because of the times in which it was delivered.
