The coolest magic beans in the universe...Education . . . has taken a back seat in the United States. Oh, this is long before the pandemic. The pandemic just opened a can of worms long struggling to get out. Sure, everyone talks about education, complains about it a lot but who's really at fault here? And who really cares? All children in the United States can get an education for free if they will work for it. "Ay, there's the rub!" Work ethic, changing priorities, time and technology, money and accountability

What is happening to our students? Today's parents? Can teachers and parents ignite curiosity and a love for learning? Where does all this money thrown at education go? Where should it go? Do schools prepare students for life? How can we create more equity in education? What is going on in our schools?

A retired teacher's take on our failing education system from the inside. Honest and controversial, Education Aggravation examines the roles of the various actors and elements: students, teachers, parents, administration, politicians, money, media and technology.

Throwing money at a never-ending fix is not the answer. We need to look deeper, focusing on specifics and basics, focusing on the cultural dynamics molding our students, needs of different groups of students, common ground, and using tools at our disposal to help students navigate their individual success in an unknown future.
