The Future of Public Primary School Education in the United States
by Gerald HarrisThis article is intended to more widely communicate some of the key lessons and insights learned during the course of two scenario projects—both of which were extraordinary efforts to understand, anticipate, and shape the future of public education in the United States. Although primarily directed at the broader community of people and organizations that are not involved with public education issues on a regular basis, the ideas presented may also offer teachers and educators new perspective, and new hope.

Some of the insights shared are more personal, grounded in the experiences of the author, GBN practitioner Gerald Harris, who was involved in both scenario projects and is also the father of two school-age boys. This article, then, is both a personal and professional effort to pull together perspectives, wrestle with ideas, and perpetuate more questions and learning about what is arguably the toughest domestic problem facing the United States. The long-term global competitiveness of the U.S. is directly tied to the success of its public education system because the brain power, creativity, and community cohesiveness that will enable sustained success will emerge from the talent and intelligence of its young people.
