What do U.S. schools lack? Some argue that students and teachers lack a commitment to learning. Others argue that education devalues personal experiences and creative ways of learning.

Even in effective learning environments, reforms must be geared toward the changing culture and society of the United States.
Instigating and sustaining meaningful school reform involves school leaders, teachers, students, parents, and community members.
