Bücher von Michael Shaffer

This is a book directed at those who work with boys and young men and are trying to develop a culture of reading among those boys and young men.

Mired in an archaic purpose, American schools are inhibited by policies tethered to high minimum quality, the nation's definition of educational adequacy. This book deconstructs the barriers that obstruct the future: contemporary public education. This search uncovers the necessities for transforming educational adequacy for all US students.

The scope of this book embraces a dynamic discussion of the value of traditional public education in the US compared with the free market of schooling expressed by privatization/choice education.

Traditional public education in the US is under attack. This book details the effects of this assault by the proponents of free market schooling and uses data-based research to fend off the attack.
