American students have gone from one-room schoolhouses to keeping up with a global economy moving at the speed of light.  

While technology advances faster and faster, America’s educational institutions move at the rate at which students can learn and the two are often out of synch. Across America, wide gaps also exist between students in the educational opportunities around them.
