Description
A Drastic change is needed.
Sir Ken Robinson points out that the US education system needs drastic change.
The USA science literacy standing is about 20th among developed nations.
Breaking news on April 12, 2012, from the Council on Foreign Relations report warning that US educational failures pose a national security threat.
These are valid points.
This book describes a solution which could make the USA competitive again.
This is not an academic nor peer reviewed book, it goes beyond those structures that have failed us already.
The root cause of our need for change is that US Schools originated in the nineteenth century to support the Industrial Revolution and have not changed. Now, we are in a new era called the Information Age or Digital Age. Clearly, the world has changed and it is time to modify the education system.
