For more than forty years the author has written numerous magazine
articles and made countless public speeches citing his three basic
principles of education: 1) that public education and the larger
society are interdependent - what happens to one affects the other;
2) that when a society decides to provide a certain level of
education to all of a given segment of its population, that better
educated group soon begins to create so many inventions and so many
better ways of doing things that still more education must be
provided young people to equip them to deal with this new
complexity; and 3) that when education and the larger society get
out of sync, unless steps are promptly taken to get them back in
sync by providing much MORE education to enable people to cope with
the more complex society, then both education and the larger
society begin to deteriorate. This writing and lecturing experience
showed the author clearly that people resist conceptual change.
Someone once said that people, and particularly Americans, resist
change until change becomes irresistible. This fact, plus the
rapidly deteriorating condition of both public education and
American society, has led the author to publish this book in the
hope of getting large numbers of people to understand the absolute
necessity of almost immediately starting public education at the
age of two, operating the public schools year round, and providing
higher education to all interested people free of charge.
