Administrators need to realize that in order to optimize elementary childrens’ learning teachers should formulate lessons plans that include the following elements:
a) content and methodology that reflects latest research findings
b) their knowledge of the students they teach. Parents know their children best but who next possesses the best knowledge of the way each child should learn. Yes, it is their teacher and they should be given freedom to use that knowledge.

We find that in countries where latest research findings and where teachers are given freedom (for example Finland and New Zealand), students outperform those of the USA; their economies also outperform that of the USA. The latest information on industrial leadership in the USA provides grim reading - see
