Chesterton put it, the \"soul of a society as it passes from one generation to another.\" That transmission is neither automatic nor guaranteed; it requires deliberate effort to pass on the truths, virtues, and civic ideals that sustain a free and flourishing society. \u003ci\u003eThe Phoenix Principles\u003c\/i\u003e calls us to renew that effort by restoring the principles that make education not merely a preparation for work, but a preparation for life--rooted in truth, animated by character, enriched by culture, and oriented toward the common good.This book articulates seven foundational principles to guide our schools and inform policy: Parental Choice and Responsibility, Transparency and Accountability, Truth and Goodness, Cultural Transmission, Character Formation, Academic Excellence, and Citizenship. Together, these ideals offer a roadmap for restoring purpose and coherence to K-12 education.Accessible, inspiring, and deeply grounded, \u003ci\u003eThe Phoenix Principles\u003c\/i\u003e provides policymakers, educators, and citizens with the intellectual foundation and moral clarity needed to shape an education system worthy of a free people--and to chart a course for the next 250 years of American self-government.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jason Bedrick,James Shuls\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1641775092\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781641775090\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Encounter Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/13\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 152\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Jason Bedrick","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":49169810817279,"sku":"9781641775090","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-phoenix-principles-jason-bedrick-9781641775090","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
