Mission Possible: Synergistic Academics: Saving U.S. Educational Exceptionalism
This book gives an answer to the U.S. pre-kindergarten through grade 12 academic crises which are undermining our “American” values, our academic excellence and our U.S. global positioning in the worlds of business, industry, science, technology, and finance.
It begins with a chronological examination of the U.S. American education system from 1635 to today, explaining the benefits, limitations, and damages of new and numerous educational trends, fashions, fads, and dogmas that were supposed to have corrected the education system’s deficiencies. It highlights a few of the major critics who exposed the catastrophically declining results, bringing attention to the lack of reading, math, and reasoning skills among U.S. students… thus resulting in millions of children (and adults) being left behind … lost … without adequate, life-functioning skills! This has not only put these students individually at risk, but has put our nation at risk … in global business, science, technology, and financial competition.
Synergistic Academics is a curriculum that not only provides individualized, tailored, basic skills curriculum but also weaves together world history with American history, mathematics, language arts, introductions to 5 foreign languages, biology, chemistry, earth science, physics, music appreciation, hands-on art, research and composition, technology, engineering and robotics … all woven together into one tapestry … for all students (pre-kindergarten through grade 12). It offers a living-breathing, patriotic curriculum (proven by 35 years of nationally-standardized test results) that not only corrects the U.S. educational deficiencies but provides the tools students need to aspire to American exceptionalism.
The unique contribution:
The unique contribution of the book is that it offers a proven answer (in the form of a curriculum-for-lease) to the continued decline of “American” moral values, patriotic fervor and educational exceptionalism of the 18th, 19th, and early 20th centuries’ U.S. educational environment.
The intended reader:
- news media that is committed to making a positive difference in our society … a media that knows professionally that one-size-does-not-fit-all
- news media that sees the value of “disruptive” education
- business leaders who, in order to better-train their own work force, should be interested in a U.S. pre-kindergarten through grade 12 educational program that has already provided a foundation of exceptional, academic skills, as well as creative and innovative thinking
- educational leaders who will have an “opened” mind to a program that teaches every student … and who will implement an intensive, comprehensive curriculum that is unmatched in the nation
- parents, clergy, and other moral leaders who will be reinforced by the ethics, religious heritage and patriotic recognition in the curriculum
- college/university presidents who should be interested in a preparatory school that will produce exceptional, entering, college/university freshmen
- U.S. military schools … already in existence … where those in charge should be interested in an exceptional program that will produce exceptional graduates
