Battleground Schools
The 'first stop' I had after rereading this article was a basic question: Are there similarities (or maybe differences) in how European countries treat public education? For example, something I would like to investigate more of is how Scandinavian countries integrate their Science curriculum, for their high school students. I've looked into a little of this, and it would be fascinating what I "unearth" potentially!
A second 'stop' tying into that last comment, is on "inquiry-based learning" Again, in Scandinavian countries, this is probably much better done.
And my third stop I guess would have to be: how do we instill confidence in our kids/students when they approach math, so that when they're faced with homework they don't need to rely on parental help. By that I mean, what if their parents might not have the proper expertise to get their homework done, either? I know of a few cases where this has happened in just personal tutoring as well.

These comments are interesting, but they do not relate to the actual article, and I don't know whether you've actually read and understood the article. Please re-write this with more depth and reference to the original piece!
