More From John Donne

This is a devastating problem, is, the longer our children are in school, the worse they do. year after year after year, our children in america are falling further behind. our 3- and 4-year-olds enter kindergarten ok, and they fall further and further behind. each year, children in other countries are learning more than children in this country. and so the gap between american student performance in singapore and finland and south korea and canada and these other countries, the gap widens year after year after year.

And o there are days in this life, worth life and worth death. and o what a bright old song it is, that o 'tis love, 'tis love, 'tis love that makes the world go round!
