Crucial Voice of the People Past and Present

Here is a fresh common-sense take on education reform not by an educator or administrator or politico but by a concerned mother and citizen who dares to proclaim that America is NOT offering a quality education to ALL its children. Young sees an effective public education system as a fundamental function of a strong republic. Yet opposing political agendas are directing federal state and local lawmakers toward failed programs wasted dollars and poor results for American public education. In <I>The Crucial Voice of the People Past and Present </I>Young presents important insights into what can be done to “fix” America’s public education system. Her research and observations are eye opening and provide all readers with a galvanizing focus on what needs to be done and how to get there. But most importantly the book energizes parents with new ideas and tools to improve the schools in their own communities. <I>The Crucial Voice of the People Past and Present</I> is a call to the public education system to openly listen and to communities to make themselves heard.
