How Goes It with America Iii: in the Interests of Educational Reform (2011 Revision) Harry Gael Michaels

"The issues of concern are the frustrations, educational disappointments and insults to children of the United States. My book begins with the shooting at Columbine High School on April 20, 1999 and then takes a look back to the high-lights of recent American history from WWII as an attempt to put into some perspective the major events that seem to have contributed to the devaluation of the professionalism of teachers and educators and public education in general. This, then, leads to a presentation of the need for educational reform with specific recommendations as well as guidance models for the young as an adjunct to societal reform and a final summation of purposes and directions for the future. It also provides teaching points and a guidance manual for those in the fields of counseling, civics, modern U. S. history, psychology and sociology."
