The chief purpose of this book is to explain how public education
in this country became dysfunctional as a result of the education
policies and programs funded by the federal government to address
low academic achievement. It highlights student effort as a central
factor in academic achievement, based on research noting its
significance. Teachers and school administrators cannot make
children ready for college or career by grade 12 if their parents
do not make them ready for school learning by kindergarten or grade
1. Once both the schools and students' parents together made
students ready for membership in our civic culture. They learned
they were politically equal to each other, with a shared civic
identity, regardless of academic achievement. Yet, policy makers at
USED and philanthropists in this country with a professed interest
in the education of low achievers want low achievers to believe
that their academic status is all that matters and that they
haven't succeeded academically because of bigoted teachers,
administrators, and communities. Parent/school partnerships need to
revive their community's agreed-upon mission for public education
if we are to alter the roots of low achievement in this country.
