Well, not too many elite universities offer Secondary Education majors.

Ed schools clearly serve a valuable function in society, but it would be nice if they could serve it a little better, and it's hard to look at American K-12 education from any kind of distance and say that we shouldn't be concerned that maybe the ed school teacher standards have been part of the problem. Alternative-certification paths like TFA are a great idea for stirring the pot, but they are hardly a panacea.
