In his newest book, Dr. Andrew Bernstein leads us along a clear path to understanding one of the greatest tragedies that has been unfolding within our culture. Why Johnny Still Can’t Read—Or Write or Understand Math” is a straight-forward, objective review of current American education, including its historical roots, the shifts in ideas that influenced the purpose, content and methods of teaching, and the resulting horrific impact on American children. Then, he gives us hope. Bernstein provides brutally honest evaluations of where parents are stonewalled and unlikely to affect systemic change in the public schools. But he also identifies a variety of small and larger efforts parents can make to help their children gain the knowledge and skills they need to become independent thinkers who can live well and flourish. This book provides sound practical advice that any parent can adopt to substantially improve his/her child’s education. This book is a must read for anyone sincerely concerned to improve education in this country.
The current school system churns out millions of illiterates and mental zombies-but here's how we're going to fix it, starting today.
Coming out of the COVID-19 pandemic, parents across the nation grapple with a new and horrifying understanding of just how bad our educational system has become. It all adds up to a system that seems hopelessly, terribly, and irrevocably broken. But as an educator and author, Andrew Bernstein reminds us that American education in the nineteenth through early-twentieth century was superb. This nation once knew how to turn out the brightest, most resourceful and independent-thinking people the world had ever seen. We can do it again.
