Book offers ways to improve schools ecology
Top education experts, elected officials, business and community
leaders, teachers, principals, elementary and secondary students
and parents discuss the dangerous shortcomings of current state
and federal policies and offer suggestions for what can be done
to improve the nation’s public schools in a new book edited
by UGA Emeritus Professor Carl Glickman.
Letters to the Next President: What We Can Do About the Real
Crisis in Public Education features the ideas and perspectives
of 33 contributors from throughout the country on three critical
questions:
• What kind of education do we want for all children?
• What changes must we make to achieve that goal?
• How do we ensure that the voices of parents, teachers, students
and citizens who care deeply about public education are heard at
local, state and national levels?
The authors—ranging in age from 8 to 92—include elementary
and secondary students in urban, suburban and rural areas; teachers
and school leaders in Georgia, Nebraska, New York, Texas and Vermont;
parents, policymakers, and entertainers.
