How the Public School System Stole Petey Guzman's Life (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781504908276)

Don't blame the teachers-blame the system. How the Public School System Stole Petey Guzman's Life is a "must-read" for every student, parent, and educator. It is the story of the declining, failing public school system that has lost sight of the truly important mission: connecting with today's students and educating them for success in their futures. As many grow increasingly alarmed by the emphasis on high-stakes testing and the political bureaucracy in education (while ignoring the importance of actual teaching and learning), this was a story begging to be told-and will have a profound impact on its readers. Told through the eyes of both Petey Guzman and his favorite teacher, their story is one you will remember long after you read the last page. By forcing us to grapple with the sad realities of public education, Petey's story evokes a visceral reaction in the reader, and propels us to take action. Finally, an insider's view of education today; get ready for an "eye-opening" experience E.A. Hults Elko's mission to "change the world, one life at a time" begins with a story that begs us to take a closer look at what's really going on in today's school systems.
