Our Public Schools: What's Wrong & How to Fix It Schools That Work - Again!

"Our Public Schools: What's Wrong & How to Fix It" is a short and concise guide that addresses the fundamental issues that affect our schools today. This is a must-read for parents, grand-parents, aunts, uncles, and anyone who loves and cares for children and who wants the best for them now and in the world which they will inherit.

The author covers how and why those problems arose, and what must now be done to return our schools to the point where they once were - simply the best education institutions in the world.
