Before the Apple Drops Fifteen Essays on Dinosaur Education

Collection of hard-hitting essays written by expert classroom teacher with over 35-years experience. Excellent supplementary reading for teacher & administrator education classes. Explains why well-meaning reform efforts cannot succeed. Offers positive suggestions for improvement without additional funding. Fundamental defects are being overlooked, such as the 19th-century organization of school districts, the inadequate stature & education of teachers, the need for establishing school administration as a career field separate from teaching, & the need to focus on academic education in the high school. The complete neglect of vocational education, & the overemphasis on sports & athletics, are major problems in existing high schools. It will soon be possible for students to electronically obtain quality education either at home or from nontraditional institutions. An emphasis on funding students rather than schools will force change in school organization, preparation & delivery of instruction, & traditional roles of school personnel.
