Adopting a simple education reform to restore civil discourse and
transform American society.In this era of extreme political
polarization, it's tempting to believe nothing can be done to heal
a nation that is so obviously divided and led by dysfunctional
politicians. But there is a relatively simple and powerful way to
begin the healing, and at the same time prepare the next
generations of leaders for the rigorous demands of a constantly
changing economy and society. The solution offered by this
intriguing book is for schools across the country to focus on
developing in students the skills of successful debaters. These are
the skills so clearly lacking in contemporary society of listening
and persuading, through civil discourse backed by fact-based
evidence and reason. Resolved explains how one simple educational
reform can help address the nation's political divide and at the
same time help ensure that today's young people will actually enjoy
learning, and thus will have the necessary skills to lead
productive and economically rewarding lives. The book offers
practical ideas about a positive future for parents, educators,
state legislators, business leaders in fact, anyone interested in
how debate-centered education can fundamentally change the country
for the better.
