Individuals from Vastly Different Political Perspectives Agree That There Is a Crisis in Education

Education is the foundation of every nation's success or failure; it produces upstanding citizens, lifts people out of poverty, and catalyzes change. Crisis in the Classroom is full of captivating, insightful essays by renowned Civil Rights attorney Ben Crump; neurosurgeon and former Secretary of the Department of Housing and Urban Development Dr. Ben Carson; and serial entrepreneur and media personality Armstrong Williams that expose the harsh realities of the current state of education in the United States and its repercussions on underserved and marginalized communities.

Crisis in the Classroom presents the unvarnished realities of pooreducational outcomes, a topic that is frequently missing from the headlines,and how these have led communities and generations of future leaders to descend into poverty and devastation.

Crisis in the Classroom demonstrates that when the education of our children is jeopardized, so are our families, communities, and nation.

Despite the grim realities depicted in Crisis in the Classroom, the authors show us that faith and unity, paired with an apolitical, solution-based approached to the education crisis, can provide hope for a brighter future.

Reviews for Crisis in the Classroom: Crisis in Education

A must read. This compelling set of essays by three leading, independent voices takes on the range of challenges facing our communities. Whatever their differences, they all agree on the moral imperative to address the civil rights issue of our time--the failure of our inner-city schools to provide a quality education to all children. The time has come for fundamental change. --Former Attorney General Bill Barr Nations rise and fall on the quality and breadth of their education; to tackle the most fundamental issue in America, Crisis in the Classroom necessarily cuts through reflexive political divisions and biases to address the heart of the matter--the challenges and solutions to achieving universal education. The book explores the root causes of the spiraling educational crisis in American and proposes novel fixes; it is wisdom that will not be welcomed by those profiteering from the catastrophe of the educational status quo. Our children, educators, and nation deserve this book. --Adam Waldman, Esquire Education is more than the communication of information; it is the transfer of life to the next generation. The classroom is the incubator for wisdom, knowledge, understanding, and character. Crisis in the Classroom points directly to the problem. It's 'us, ' all of us. The road to restoring our educational system is difficult, but not impossible, if we work together. --Reverend A. R.
