	Description:		Everybody believes in education, yet American schools continue to produce students unprepared to compete in a global market. Our panelists for this episode include two educators with backgrounds in public and parochial schooling. Scott McQuerry has taught science at the high school and middle school level. He is the author of the Classic Science series of textbooks widely accepted by home-school families across the globe, and he has developed a series of online, content-based professional development courses for educators offered through Science Pioneers of Kansas City. Scott also teaches chemistry and physical science at Truman High School in Independence, Missouri. Dr. Tom's second guest is Jessica Herman, a Lutheran layperson who taught physics and physical science for 17 years at a private high school for girls. Today Jessica is regional manager for CPO Science, a hands-on, inquiry-based science curriculum company. She conducts science trainings and professional development workshops for teachers and school districts and at conferences throughout the Midwest.
