We usually do not think of our educational system in evolutionary terms, probably because so little has been written for public consumption about the history of public education in America.This treatise explores how we arrived at where we find ourselves by identifying the original purpose for public education and tracing how that purpose has evolved over the centuries. Many of the remarkable results are reviewed and then the reason for that healthy growth trajectory rather suddenly turning pathological is proposed.In addition to assessing the damage caused due to the pathology, a solution is offered to begin healing the crisis in our schools.Kelley, Walt is the author of 'Common Sense A New Conversation About Public Education', published 2004 under ISBN 9781413435825 and ISBN 1413435823.
