How do we reform education?
I recently witnessed a TEDx event in Colorado and heard Ramona Pierson discuss her philosophy on education - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g5aHL2qd_08.
She believes there's an equation (ok, actually an algorithm) that can be used to prescribe a unique education path for every student. This idea comes in the wake of a near nationwide adoption of the Common Core Standards. Where do the resources in the United States currently need to be focused to assure positive progress in education?

The founder Salman Khan also held a talk on TED:

It's far from perfect, sure. But it's better than any unique idea that I can think of, capable of changing education.
It's a pioneer project, paving the way for others to follow. :-)
