Fix Education

A global production.

The pitch

Throughout the years, leaders have tried to repair the failing bureaucracy that is the American education system. They have often been met with little success.

Elected officials do their best to improve our country, but they can only do so much.

We believe that our country can do better.

Getting you started

We want to know who you are, where you come from and how you think we can fix the growing problems in our education system.

• Are you a student? a teacher? a world-class concert pianist? a concerned parent?
• What’s your history? Your family’s history?

We really want to know! Find out what we will do with the data.

Below are some questions to ponder that might help get the creative juices flowing.

• What is wrong (and right) with our current system of education?
• Are current programs like the No Child Left Behind Act working?
  • If they are working how can they be improved?
  • If they aren’t, what can we do to fix them? Can they be fixed?

Our quick survey

Please answer the questions as throughly as possible, the more you tell us, the more we can share with the world. The more we share, the more we can change the world together.

If you would like, you may use Markdown formating.

What is wrong with our education system?

How do you define the problems of your country’s education system. (United States or otherwise).

How would you fix the problems?

We are interested in the philosophical to the mundane, the political, the religious and the secular. What does it take to fix the problems with education?

Who are you?

Are you a student? a teacher? a world-class concert pianist? a concerned parent? What’s your history? Your family’s history? You do not have to give us personally identifiable information (such as your name), but feel free to do so if you would like.

If you are a politician or some other well known person, please also give the contact information of your press office so we can confirm your identity.

Where are you from?

What country, state, province, city, town are you from? What kind of community do you live in? (Do you live in a small town, a farm, a city, the suburbs?) Do you think that where you grew up affects your opinions on education? How so?

What we will do with the data

We will do our best to catalog it, categorize it and think about it. We’ll release all of our findings, under Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 3.0 Unported License.

We will never claim to have all the answers, we can only hope to spark a debate.
