Galston); (3) "The Other Crisis in American Education" (Daniel J. Singal) about complacently maintaining that the top students are doing just fine; (4) "Do Private Schools Outperform Public Schools?" (Albert Shanker and Bella Rosenberg); (5) "Raising Standards for American Education" (National Council on Education Standards and Testing); (6) "Reach High" (John E.

Cohen and S. G. Grant); (10) "Restructuring Teacher Compensation Systems" (Allan R. Odden and Sharon Conley); (11) "It Takes Two To Tango" (Patrick Welsh) about the fact that policy reforms will make no difference unless students are willing and motivated to work hard; (12) "A Prescription for World-Class Schools" (John A.
