How Deconstructing the American School System Will Reconstruct the American Dream

Is the American School System failing by mistake or by design? Why does a nation known globally as a democracy invest billion of its citizens' dollars in a national school system that operates on the basis of socioeconomic class? Why has America fallen in the roster of nations in education, when it once was rated number 1? The answers to these important questions are found in the thorny history of the American school system chronicled in this book. Unlike any other books on positive change in education, this book drives the reader down the historical evolution of the American school system, past the racist issues and political faux pas. Then the reader is delivered to a unique and challenging but practical proposal. This book goes one big step beyond the rest by bringing the reader to a solution in which he or she can actually participate.
