Education That Matters: How Strong Moral Principles, Literacy and Patriotism Will Save Public Schools

Free public education has long been a core American value and privilege. Yet, teachers are burning out, families are fleeing the public schools and students, who cannot read and write are graduating from high school. The government constantly and consistently strives for quality education through mandates and reforms. Myrna Sanner calls quality education Education That Matters. While reading Education That Matters, you will learn:

Clearly defined principles will offer consistency to teachers when educating students, to law enforcement officers when enforcing the laws and to families when raising their children. Teachers can recognize negative behavior, can teach the academics, and help eradicate illiteracy. They can even practice patriotism every day in the classroom. However, teachers do not go home with their students. Myrna Sanner addresses problems facing public schools and offers solutions for re-approaching American public education by being mindful of a few core tenets that speak to the hearts and souls of teachers and families.
