Title: Should be required reading!
Review: This book is one of the best things I have ever read as a parent. It explains WHY the educational systems we have today are failing, and WHAT parents can do about it.I read this book through several times, and it is just so packed full of information! I come from a family of public school teachers, and I am a homeschooler, partly because of what I have heard from the p.s. teachers in my family. There are problems inherent in the public school systems, and in this book, many of them are delineated.Sykes briefly touches on the impact of psychological and psychiatric programs in the schools, but I think he fails to realize that they are actually BEHIND many of the other problems. This is why I give this book 4 stars instead of 5.Combined with The Leipzig Connection, I think this book could make a huge difference for many children -- if only their parents and educators would read them.
