K-12 student performance in the U.S. does not affect you—right? Easy story. Amazing points. Enjoy this homepage with a cup of coffee The first time you read this page—try not to click the links The 50 states—as a whole—leave half of all K-12 students behind The U.S. Department of Education (let's call it the DOE) has not helped Half of all K–12 graduates receiving diplomas are not proficient in reading or math The DOE would have shocked President Kennedy—as it did Reagan and now Trump ONLY TRUE INNOVATION can transform U.S. K-12 student performance But implementing innovation takes courage—consider the HSe4Metrics platform First, implementation and testing costs can seem exorbitant Second, only testing an innovation will tell if it works—and if it sets records! Third, HSe4Metrics is for EVERY K-12 student—so it must be free So, if students and families don’t pay for it, who will? The federal government routinely funds high-risk, high-impact innovation. SO LET'S ASK! 60 seconds—and 16 images This "explainer" site is for you. It is not the platform for students Media says only 50% of K-12 grads can read. No! NAEP SAYS IT'S ONLY 25% Media says only 50% of K-12 grads can do math. No, NAEP SAYS only 24% To keep it simple, we'll use 50%— horrible enough NAEP is the "Nation's Report Card"—it's an Act of Congress NAEP results come from the STATES' K-12 students Many parents know that their K-12 grads are not "hirable" If the nation keeps the U.S. Department of Education, "re-legislate it!" Then implement and test the free-access HSe4Metrics platform innovation EVERYONE, ask federal and state leaders to review this explainer site If federal leaders cannot be reached, let's pay lobbyists to reach them PAID LOBBYISTS could handle it A $5 fundraising campaign might be sufficient to retain them NO, THERE IS NO CAMPAIGN AT THIS TIME (SLIDES HAVE ENDED)

In this explainer site, the U.S. Department of Education is also referred to as the DOE.
Congress can unleash the power of K-12 education in two steps:

Much is right about U.S. K–12 education. With a few adjustments, it can become an international contender.
And yet K–12 student performance is in dire condition—and has been for over 60 years.
Written for both the general public and the public sector, this site seeks a sponsor

Help HSe4Metrics connect with a federal agency (click the link Federal Agencies) willing to conduct due diligence and evaluate sponsorship of the HSe4Metrics platform—or a member of Congress prepared to lead on strengthening K-12 student performance nationwide

If this explainer site’s outreach does not identify such an agency or congressional leader, a fundraising campaign may be launched—potentially supported by Google—to retain a professional presentation team

That team would be tasked with identifying and approaching appropriate federal leaders. Rather than relying on volunteers and parents, it would consist of experienced Washington-based policy consultants and government-relations professionals

K-12 and toddlers too
Parents MUST have the HSe4Metrics innovation for their toddlers—years before K-12. A good start is to become familiar with cap rate
The HSe4Metrics innovation (or sponsor name) will stick with families from the toddler tantrum years all the way to high school graduation
With parental oversight, the innovation will help young people excel well beyond grade-level expectations
John F. Kennedy  would likely have been appalled by the DOE’s misguided legislation

A presentation team of lobbyists can help secure a sponsor. The sponsor could be a leading corporation like P&G or a federal agency like the U.S. Department of Labor—or even the U.S. Department of Education (if re-legislated)

Societal innovation can transform K-12 student performance

A significant share of U.S. K–12 graduates fall below proficiency in reading and mathematics, as reflected in national assessments such as NAEP. Many are viewed by advanced industries as insufficiently educated to be trained for skilled roles

These outcomes developed without access to a tool like the HSe4Metrics platform—during both the early childhood years and throughout K–12

The HSe4Metrics innovation is designed to address this gap. If validated through disciplined, large-scale testing, it has the potential to significantly expand the nation’s qualified, homegrown workforce—while better preparing students for success in higher education

This approach stands in contrast to conventionally structured efforts such as the No Child Left Behind Act and the Every Student Succeeds Act, which did not produce sustained national gains in student performance

A Technical Note

Pro bono works fine. The HSe4Metrics platform has secured an additional form of pro bono support: a top-100 U.S. law firm is assisting with the conversion of HSe4Metrics from its current SCC status (held since April 2000) to a 501(c)(3) private foundation

Until this conversion process is complete, HSe4Metrics intends to delay any public fundraising efforts aimed at retaining a lobbyist or professional presentation team

It's all simple, but are YOU motivated to act?

No donations are being accepted, but there is something you can do right now to help identify a national sponsor for the HSe4Metrics platform

  • Ask a public official to suggest a government or corporate sponsor
  • Make a simple cold call to any Fortune 500 company — for example, contact General Motors and ask that a decision-maker review this explainer site
  • Personally call a federal agency — such as the U.S. Department of Labor — and request that a responsible official review the site

If a sponsor is not secured through volunteer outreach or through HSe4Metrics’ direct engagement with major corporations and federal agencies, only then would a limited fundraising campaign be considered

If that point is reached:

  • A modest, carefully structured $5 campaign would be launched
  • Its sole purpose would be to retain a qualified Washington presentation or lobbying team
  • That team would work to secure formal meetings with Members of Congress and appropriate federal agencies

Don’t wait!

Go for It—here's how!
