Education is a significant social program in our culture because we understand that learning well impacts our capacity to live well. Its importance produces many controversies because perspectives are greatly influenced by what policies and practices are implemented. Inevitably, the general public has insufficient time and/or interest to scratch away the veneer surrounding controversial matters and discover what should be.This book identifies numerous conflicts within the field of education and provides the perspectives and information which stakeholders within the enterprise sweep aside or cover-up. An extensive data-base is used to demonstrate why existing policies and practices create unfair learning situations for our nation’s children, frequently described as our most valuable resource. Policy-makers, both administrative and legislative, are caught in the middle; yet, they choose to avoid controversy by siding with educators. This book provides evidence of how the decision-making should be altered to achieve optimal learning in our North American schools.

From a place of experience, concern, success and conviction Jim Dueck writes a book of powerful insight. I was struck, as a business owner how accurate the information is. Having looked at job applications filled out by "graduates" I confirm the sad reality of a failing educational system. A strong rebuke which should cause serious thought. In chapter 8, "Parents Responsibility and Rights" the author puts his finger on something most profound. What does one base Morality on? More importantly how has this impacted our educational system and culture? Certainly is thought provoking and worthy of consideration. Facts are difficult things to ignore. How much longer do we continue to do so?
