Easy! Because in the process of dumbing down the schools, our Education Establishment has cheated children out of their most basic rights: the right to read, to do math, to know history, to learn geography, to study science, to engage in real critical thinking, and in general to become an educated person.
All the things we call basics and fundamental knowledge....our Education Establishment has waged a relentless war of attrition against them. It's time to stop the war, and to save all the essential things that children have a right to expect when they attend public schools.
If you're involved in school reform, please take a look at this handy 10-point agenda for improving public schools: A BILL OF RIGHTS FOR STUDENTS 2012. (On Improve-Education.org. Form can be printed.)

1) Main site is Improve-Education.org. Articles there are scholarly (in a lively way) and intended to last for years. This blog is for short newsy bits. 2) This site is pro-teacher, anti-educator. Educators are the people who make policy. They love social engineering. 3) Title of my fifth book is: "THE EDUCATION ENIGMA — What Happened To American Education.” It can probably do more to save the public schools than anything else. Good gift. On Amazon.
