Description
A Nation of Idiots will be the first book to expose:the large numbers of unqualified teachers,legions of poor administrators,one issue school board members,hordes of ineffective parents, the global media giants, who invest heavily in keeping Americans numb and dumb in order to sell their products;the pharmaceutical companies and medical profession who drive up premiums so local districts can't afford quality health care to attract quality teachers;the tobacco and alcohol industries whose poisons create long-term health problems and, especially because of fetal alcohol syndrome, future special needs students, both of which are paid for with local taxes;what the author has come to call Feelgooders and their sordid attempts to spread Feelgoodenism;special education as a mandated, legal rip-off of the local taxpayers. State and Federal mandates should stop when the funding runs out.The author's thirty-three years in education lend a personal, in-your-face tone that makes the book hard to put down. His experience lends credence to what he has to say. And he isn't afraid to say it.
