Seeking Solutions

I enjoyed reading Ronald Wolk’s Perspective piece on the No Child Left Behind Act [“99.9 Percent Bunk,” October], but like many (most?) such articles, it is long on criticism and almost devoid of suggestions or recommendations on what can be done with an educational system in crisis. Since Mr. Wolk is, I assume, a veteran educator, I really would like to hear what he has to provide in the way of solutions.
