A good education seems as American as apple pie. And yet so elusive for so many. We see our newspapers filled daily with the woeful state of education. Surely this must concern us all. Even if your children are among those who are receiving or who have received a quality education, recent events make it clear that you and your children are affected by those who are not.
Schools are for children.
And yet, as school children are interviewed here and across the nation, the children report that schools are irrelevant and meaningless. Disconnected to who they are. Far too many of our children have become disconnected because of the lack of understanding and ability of our schools to help. All children can learn and want to learn. School failure and failing schools are contrary to innate human desire.
