The principles of democracy, freedom, and the rights of individuals are taught from textbooks, but the principles of autocracy and dictatorship are still practiced in most schools and homes. It is no wonder our children feel unsettled, defiant, and even outright rebellious. Many of our young people are growing up ignorant of, and uncommitted to, the great principles upon which our nation was founded. The way to make children committed to our democratic way of life is to make them full participants in it. This new guide is provided to assist educators and parents in making our schools and homes models of democracy, giving our kids the freedom of choice, and bestowing on them the basic rights of citizenship. Parents and educators must unite as democratic leaders to guide, coach, and stimulate our young people to assume responsibility for themselves. The future of our nation may depend on it!

McCormick, a long-time teacher and school guidance counselor in at-risk schools in Texas and Nevada, has written a useful resource for parents and educators that succinctly introduces the principles of democratic education and offers helpful strategies to apply equitable practices in children’s learning environments. Although this text is easily accessible to general readers, McCormick primarily focuses on strategies for elementary and middle school with an American-centric lens. The book offers a general introduction to equitable teaching practices and behavior management, focusing on discipline and conflict resolution strategies. Recommended.
