Mississippi's Education Success Highlighted by Rahm Emanuel

Rahm Emanuel wrote about how Mississippi has improved its educational system.

He said Mississippi focused on teaching kids to read using phonics, which is a method that has been proven to work.

They also trained teachers to be better at teaching reading.

Emanuel thinks other places in America should follow Mississippi's example instead of giving up on public schools.

He believes this model can make the educational system world-class again.
