Produktbeschreibung

The cry has risen to "fix our public schools." Repeatedly, it has fallen upon the ears of those without the ability to listen or the understanding necessary to develop the vision for a responsible plan to fix schools. A new opportunity presents itself now. It is time to take on the big and supposedly complicated problems of our education system. Education's Missing Ingredient clearly describes the issues-from the dangers associated with a lack of classroom discipline to the failings of the people to recognize and defend their schools from an overstepping federal government. This book clarifies the answers to our education system's woes and our republic's flickering success. It offers a formula for achieving that ever-elusive goal of equal opportunity in American education. As you begin to understand educations' missing ingredient, the simplicity of the solution will amaze you. That path of understanding leads to the type of education system the United States has thus far failed to produce.
