Our Public Schools: A Pearl of Great PriceFactor Press, 2000 - 169 pages Drawing on 40 years of experience in public education, Dr. Schneider warns that public schools must continue to serve as the cornerstone of American democracy. He gives well-reasoned, fact-based arguments for a spiritual foundation in education; demanding competency from teachers; limiting the now virtually absolute power of teachers' unions; and eliminating voucher and charter school programs that drain money from public schools. |
