Screwed-Up School Reform

Fixing America's Broken Promise

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

In Screwed-Up School Reform, Richard G. Shear and Bruce S. Cooper reveal that generations of school reforms have actively worked to cure the symptoms of "broken schools," but not the overarching, fundamental problems that permeate the system. Virtually an entire society has failed to understand the main problem with American education: children are rejecting its practices and conditions. But, the screwed-up education system is fixable, and it can be fixed now. If reformers focus instead on changing education's foundation, then children will instead succeed at school and in their personal lives.
