Description
Sacred Elephants: The Catastrophic Crisis in Education Impacting the Decline of America is urgent in its message and reflective of our times. Education is the key to our economic health as a nation, as well as the preservation of our freedom. It is just that simple. Thomas Jefferson told us that an educated citizenry is the best hedge against tyranny. Given our downward slide in academic achievement on the world stage it is past time to heed his warning. The authors of Sacred Elephants present their compelling case in two parts, calling for a decisive response from the citizens of America for real systemic change in our education system. They first discuss the ten critical areas that must be addressed without delay if we are to return to a viable public education system. In part two they present a working school design that will create and sustain academic success for students. The hour is late and the stakes could not be higher.
