Product Overview
Revised Second Edition The present public education system in the United States is inadequate, inefficient, antiquated, bogged down in bureaucracy, and lost in minutia. Quite simply, it is ineffective The cause matters little. That it must be fixed now is paramount, and it must be fixed in a way that our nation can afford. Necessity, the mother of invention, may save us yet. Our students of today will become the scientists, entrepreneurs, and skilled workers of tomorrow. Industry leaders and economists warn us that a high school education for the majority of our citizens will not be adequate for the U.S. to maintain its preeminence in the highly competitive world economy of the 21st Century. How to Save Education and a Trillion Dollars lays out a simple, logical, cost-effective way to upgrade our system of education while decreasing its overall costs. Citizens, educators, and all who care about the future of our children and our nation, read on. There is hope for us after all. Elgen M. Long, January 17, 2012
