Publisher's Synopsis
The American educational system today seems beset on all sides by problems: from inequity to funding struggles, from poverty to teacher turnover. But there is a fundamental underlying issue with our educational system, one that profoundly impacts every aspect of its operation, yet is rarely openly confronted. With a degree in psychology and more than twenty years' experience working with children, Don Berg discovered there is one critical factor undermining our schools. With Holly Allen's help, he explains why countless intelligent and passionate people have failed to change the system, and how we can protect our own children from the downsides of the education system.
