Reviews for U.S. Education is in Trouble, Let's Fix It!: 22 Reform Proposals

"Richard Garrett presents a blueprint of 22 workable pillars that might be able to hold up America's, top-heavy, and collapsing educational structure. These twenty-two pillars are reinforced by scholars, teachers, and common sense. Policymakers should read Garrett's blueprint, and enact his advice, before the collapse gets any worse.--Chris Edwards, Ed.D, current high school teacher and author of ""Self-Taught, Moving from a Seat-Time Model to a Mastery-Learning Model."" Richard Garrett's proposals to reform public education are data-driven and supported by the testimony of public-school teachers, administrators, education scholars, and experts in the field. There is no doubt that the system needs reform in many ways. Garrett's book exposes the root causes of its failures and provides 22 workable solutions.--Jeff Rasley, Author of multiple books and President, Scientech Foundation of Indiana"
