The continuing erosion and weakening of education in America accompanied by growing societal problems have mired the entire system and handicapped the preparation of our students for achieving productive and meaningful lives in the global economy. Aiming at shedding light on these problems, author Terry Lawler releases, through Xlibris, his new book Learning Curve and offers rational solutions for working our way back to sound educational practices and philosophies. Learning Curve is a collection of essays which examine the state of education in America. This enriching book provides insights that shed light on today’s major educational issues in the country, calling for basic, commonsense solutions for returning our schools to greatness. Drawing from over four decades of teaching experience, Lawler offers advice for educators, students and parents. Though some of the suggested solutions are controversial, Lawler presents them with focus, brevity, and honesty.
