Our Education System is Broken

Abstract
“The Education System is Broken: Strategies to Rebuilding Hope, Lives, and Futures” looks at our educational system as it currently works and evaluates not only why this system is broken, but also how we might move forward together to fix it. So, how do we fix our failing schools? We begin by finally taking the educator out from behind the desk and bringing them to the table to share in the decisions and solutions regarding what is happening in our schools. It is time to part the curtains on our public school system and show you the villains, the heroes, the talented, and the not-so-talented. It is time to give you a behind-the-scenes view of our educational stage. It is time to hear what every educator wants you to hear. After thirty years in education as a teacher, an assistant principal and a principal I have see and felt each and every aspect of what is happening. I am an educator committed to not only exposing the truth but offering solutions to fix them. Together, we must do better by our students. I am honored to use my voice as a voice for change.
