Book Overview
Educators are working harder. Parents are demading more. Policymakers and administrators are churning out program after program. So why are America's public schools in such a mess?When others ask how schools can do a better job fulfillling their mission, Eric Buehrer asserts, It's the wrong mission Parents, policymakers, and educators continue to push schools toward becoming one-stop social service centers. The unintended result strips parents of their rights and responsibilities to care for their children, in effect turning our educational institutions into part-time orphanages. In this landmark book, Eric Buehrer speakes with a powerful and sane voice warning us all that unless we rethink the mission of public schools, the tragic result will be a school system and a society that neither cares for its children effectively nor educates the sufficiently.
