Why have billions of dollars spent on technology, small-school initiatives, and school-choice options failed to improve our schools?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eToo often, educators are simply pulling the wrong levers, say Tony Frontier and James Rickabaugh. They explain that the various components of schooling fall into five categories: \u003cem\u003estructure\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003esample\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003estandards\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003estrategy\u003c\/em\u003e, and \u003cem\u003eself\u003c\/em\u003e.
