Publisher's Summary

None of the countless "new" educational reforms tried over many decades have been able to save the American Public Education System. Often, they've made things worse.

Can we fix the Public Education system in America?

Written by an educator with broad experience spanning nearly three decades, this new book suggests that it's already too late. Education’s ongoing failures are feeding on themselves, perpetuating the failed system.

This book states what should be obvious, but clearly isn't.

Aren’t other people fixing it?

No, they're not.

The massive foundational changes that are needed are simply not possible.

Money by itself can't fix it. Money hasn't worked to fix it in the past—and it won't work now.

Can any country survive for long with a broken education system?

None can.

IF there is any hope to fix education in America—and there isn’t much—it will be up to you.

Don't mess it up!

Note that footnotes are not contained in the audiobook. They are available in both the paperback and ebook formats. The book's single appendix is also missing from the audiobook. Other than that, the audiobook, read by the author, is unabridged. 

This book is written by the author of Killers Are Fatherless: The Real Cause of School Shootings, Serial Killings, and Gang Murders and The Cartainos: Men of Passion–Men of Stone.
