The Need for Innovation in Education

by Lee

The Libertarian Party's blog recently had a post in response to a NY Times editorial (subscription required) concerning an effort by Wisconsin's largest teachers' union to put a stop to innovation in education. The union aimed to close a charter school that offers all of its courses online (a case that luckily did not hold up in court).

The editorial and response both shed light on a disturbing trend: the fear of innovation in our educational system. This issue is one that is close to our hearts at kasina, as we started the kasina Youth Foundation as an organization dedicated to innovating and improving the education of our children. In the next ten years, we hope to:

  • Help 10,000 disadvantaged children fall in love with learning
  • Engage 1,000 corporate volunteers to get involved with education beyond fundraising

    We are currently looking to select additional partners for the Foundation, and would welcome any suggestions you have for innovative organizations we should consider.
