Your Kids Are Learning Nothing: An Inside Look at America's Broken Education System

This piece of nonfiction examines the American public education system through a highly critical lens by a current educator. Written in an editorial style, this book focuses on the reality of our current public education system prior to, during, and in the tail-end of the COVID-19 pandemic.No punches are pulled when it comes to the failures of schools, parents, and the government. Calling into question the validity of career educators and whether their lack of context makes them suitable teachers of life skills is a central focus of this piece. Questioning whether or not this is even the goal or purpose of public education is critical to understanding why our system functions the way it does. Examining this idea is critical to determining whether the system is even able to be successful.This piece represents an opportunity for thought-provoking professional development reading material without bogging readers down with a bunch of statistics or fluff. Having read numerous dry, number-driven materials over the years, most educators are ready for a book like this. With an equal number of "motivational" books thrown at them by clueless administrators, most educators are ready for the reality presented in this book.That is not to say that this book is aimed solely at current or future educators. This book is written for every person with any sort of interest in education: teachers, education majors, school board members, PTA members, administrators, law makers, and (especially) parents. It is important to understand how each of them contributes to the problems and successes of education in the modern era.
