What changes are needed in education?

I heard a report the other day that schools in the USA were beginning to use Singapore Math. I heard that Florida is going to demand 30 minutes of daily consecutive PE. I heard that Science and Social Studies are two subjects that are increasingly absent from daily lesson plans in the elementary school.

What needs to change? Perhaps it is time to revisit the length of the school day? Summer vacation? School calendar?

Has technology really saved teacher’s time?
