Better education

"Disrupting Class" Clayton Christensen 2011
There are many claims that education in the U.S. is broken. Christensen claims that it is not broken so much as being measured against metrics that are incorrect. He claims that U.S. education has transformed itself over and over in ways that few companies have ever mastered.
He also claims that the next step in U.S. education is to tailor education to individual learning styles. He claims that students are not stupid but often are ill served by the one size fits all industrial paradigm of current education.

Then he lays out battle tested ways to improve education. These ways are an extension of his pioneering work in "The Innovator's Dilemma."
A fascinating, compelling, and practical book.
