If I Could Make a School

This is a book about reinventing public education in America. The author explains why we cannot simply improve the public schools … we must change them in significant ways. He describes what needs to be changed; who must make the changes; and why we cannot wait much longer to make them. If I Could Make a School challenges the status quo in education. It questions many common assumptions about our traditional method of schooling. However, it is not a book that just finds fault with our schools. It presents a clear vision of a new kind of school where the focus is on learning … for all children, not just the "brightest and best." It is a refreshing and positive approach to raising the learning threshold for all children. The book is informative and challenging. Every person interested in securing a better education for America’s children should read it.
