Some of you may not realize it, but Atomic Learning’s corporate headquarters is located just a bit north east of Lake Wobegon, the fictional town of Garrison Keillor where “all the women are strong, all the men are good-looking, and all the children are above average.” Minnesota has a long history of education leadership; our state often leads the nation in many of the traditional benchmarks of success. Last Friday, I attended a Minnesota Chamber of Commerce luncheon focused on education. Braving sub-zero temperatures, education and business leaders from around our state met to discuss ways to improve education with goals including reducing the achievement gap and improving high school graduation rate. The key takeaway I discovered was that the business community feels strongly about quality education.
