Arne Duncan's found value in basketball (and picks Kansas in his bracket). But, if you're still looking for your pot o' gold, try these tips, and maintain effort. And, don't tell Drew (not Kevin) Carey there's no magic bullet ??? he can fix Cleveland schools. Reformulate youth programs, and get youth into science early. That'll stem the drop-out rate and increase NAEP (National Assessment of Educational Progress) scores. ??Or he'll put it all on mobile learning (see today's quotable). Students want it.
