Ben Mendelsohn has a simple goal.
“I want every child to have equal access to education,” he said.
Mendelsohn has taken the first steps to accomplish this goal by founding a chapter of Students for Education Reform with middle school education major Nick King, who said he learned about the non-profit from a Teach for America information session on campus.

"The State of Maryland Public Education 2012" scrutinizes all of the available data on Maryland’s K–12 public school performance, including how our students are doing on both state and national assessments, how prepared they are for college and how they stack up against each other, the rest of the country and the world. It also discusses where we stand on implementing our winning Race to the Top applications and the needed steps to reform Maryland education policies.
