Andrew Rowe, a D.C. parent, guest blogs on Recess today, responding to last week's blog post by Matt Richmond about rural education and its dependence on local economic development.

-- "Rather than wax nostalgic about rural America and pledge to keep kids on the farm, policymakers should acknowledge the costs of a culture of static rural unemployment and the benefits of educating rural kids to join the modern workforce where and how it is. Wishful thinking should not be a substitute for the hard truth: Most rural kids should learn that they will never get an education or a reasonable job if they are unwilling to leave home."
