Description

An illuminating examination of the deterioration of the current school system in America, backed by detailed research and shocking statistics.

An indictment of the American educational system criticizes the fact that the system has discarded the traditional goals of transmitting knowledge and fostering cognitive skills in favor of building self-esteem and promoting social harmony.
