Ning Shen

A Different View: an Anti-education Culture Ning Shen

Mr. Shen was born in China and has lived and taught in the United States for 17 years. Mr. Shen has published three books in China. He is also a contributing writer for many Chinese newspapers and magazines around the world. This book is an account of author's own experience teaching in American schools and observations as a teacher and a parent. The cause of the failure of American education is not the schools. The adult-oriented society and the anti-eductaion culture surrounding the schools have been destroying the American education and American children. If they really want to reform their education, Americans must understand that American way that they know is not the only way in the world. American way that has been hurting American education is certainly not the right way. America needs some fresh eyes and views from the different perspectives. That is what this book to offer.
