Finally someone explains how and why the education system in
America works to accomplish that for which it was designed---the
uniquely different behavior of Americans. Dr. Novia uses personal,
professional, and educational experiences to explain in the most
unique fashion the hidden intent of American schools. One intent is
to train us to serve the system by becoming overly mindful of the
"present." Thus, a lack of consciousness for the past and future
prepares us to react to the world in an anti-intellectual manner
which is America's secret strength. The Protestant Ethic is the
source of the secretive nature of our society. It levels us all by
personal performance and then makes us content with our place in
society and the world. This Ethic, also the source of the American
Constitution, is far too deeply ingrained in us Americans to ever
change in any significant way, come all challenges. Ironically,
America is the greatest nation in the world because her very
strength is her weakness. No one has ever put together so
thoughtful and provocative an explanation for American greatness.
This book will make you uncomfortable but will change your life
forever. Dr. Novia is a former teacher and principal. He took his
doctorate at Teachers College, Columbia University.
