Can't Fix An Outmoded System

"All the money in the world will not fix a system that is outmoded," Jenifer Fox writes in her first blog post for the Huffington Post Fox is the Executive Director of The Strength Movement, dedicated to improving student engagement.

It is like we are still doing CPR on the patient who died a long time ago.
