by Linda M. Carlson, Ph.D. and Marilyn A. Felix, B.Ed.
Ordering information given below.
Synopsis:
Common sense and comedy are entertainingly interwoven in a book that speaks up for the child of today, and for tomorrow’s world. As retired teachers, the authors have created a work that is intended as an easy read, not a textbook.
This unique book is a riveting critique of education’s fabric and flaws, peppered with hair-curling comments, original cartoons and insightful quotes. Insidious errors of educational practice are exposed, with no pandering to political correctness. Every parent, teacher and policy maker should read it. The solutions offered by contributors world wide shout aloud what many dare only to whisper.
Reviewer’s Comments:
"... this is an extraordinarily well-written book about a difficult subject. Before reading it, I had the simplistic view that the deficiencies of the educational system in the USA were due to the teachers, the teachers unions and to a large extent, the problem of tenure. I now realize that this is a much more complex subject...a very thought-provoking book." - Michael Barnes, M.D., author.
