Description

Back to the Basics is a down-to-earth insider's view of public schools. From pre-school through college, our education system has all too often failed to provide our children with basic skills. Many schools today are unsafe, blackboard jungles. Our legislators continue to spend money and pass volumes of law trying to fix things and failing. Their efforts have strengthen a growing Education bureaucracy by moving the control of our schools away from the people. Our public schools have fallen under control of outside groups who have their agenda and for the most part, the public hears only what those self-serving groups want them to hear. A great deal has been said about teachers and teaching, but they have become nothing more than hired hands with little or no control of their schools and classrooms. Back to the Basics reveals why these education deficiencies exist and recommends ways to counter them. Donald Goodsell was a teacher for more than thirty years. He also served as a faculty president and dealt with everyone in the school system. He will tell you that his experience was considerably more important than his education.
