Bruce,
Do you want to save children...or...do you want to save the government schools?
If you want to save children from the pits of ignorance then recognized that the government’s socialist-entitlement schools can not be fixed or saved. They must be abolished.

I hope your book is a success. Bump.
Looks very interesting, Bruce, thank you for the link! Explanations of reading/common core math especially interest me as I have a teacher friend currently working through some sort of grant for a special program to teach reading/tutor for ‘special needs’ students, for my lack of a better term...those having problems with reading and comprehension. My friend often mentions ‘sight words’ which I cannot comprehend (no pun intended). She teaches at my former junior high (dating myself, I know). The number of students she works with is startling to me...how can so many not know how to read? When I ask, gets a little testy about how these students have ‘learning disabilities’. I was taught phonetics starting in 1st grade. I also recall my Mom railing about my being taught ‘new math’ back in the day & she was convinced I was harmed by it, to this day, lol! Very confusing for me when she helped me with homework because of the conflicts between how she was taught vs. how I was. I see this today with common core times a thousand via friends (I don’t have any little urchins of my own ;) How are there so many kids supposedly unable to learn math or reading once they reach K7, needing all these additional classes, costing a boatload of $? Baffling to me. I’m very interested in your book hopefully for layman explanations of this stuff to be able to discuss with my friend. None of our conversations about this subject make any sense at all to me as a non-teacher. I can’t help thinking to myself, no wonder they can’t read... Will you be releasing in kindle format?
For later
The only effective way to do anything about the situation is to get your children the hell out of there. Teach them at home.
P.S.Anything you can do to have publisher ‘Saving K-12’ available in Kindle format on Amazon? Would be awesome, many thanks.
