Dumbing Down Our Kids

Why American Children Feel Good About Themselves but Can't Read, Write or Add

by Charles J. Sykes

Charles Sykes takes an interesting look at the education system in America. New Zealand follows world trends in education.  Is this where we are headed? 

Although we may have different names for the systems New Zealand has adopted in recent years, the way they are described by Sykes is alarmingly familiar. This is a must read for all those who are interested in the consequences of how we are educating our young people today.
