Preface

Many people believe that the public school system offers the best education at the lowest cost. Unfortunately, this belief is incorrect. The way the public school system is today has become a great cost to society, however not financially, but to our children.

Everything ranging from test scores to teaching strategies sounds good and looks good on paper but none of these are affecting successful change in American students’ performance. This book is a cry to parents: stop trusting the public school system with the education of our children.
