Can all kids thrive and succeed in our public schools?
The politically correct answer to this question has always been "yes," but after more than half a century of reforms, we are still not close to reaching this goal. Too many students are failing academically, dropping out, or leaving school unprepared for college or the workplace. And record numbers of our kids are bullied, stressed, anxious, or suicidal. Yes, all kids can thrive and succeed, but not in our schools as they are structured and run today. Every child can thrive and succeed IF...
- Each of us takes full responsibility for the success of every child.
- We preface every choice or decision by asking, "Is this what is best for kids?"
- We shake free from our educational paralysis of the last 60 years.
- We put the welfare of kids ahead of our personal and political agendas.
Bringing Henry Home presents a new way to conduct schooling based on fundamental truths in education, not on closely held personal beliefs. Czarniak will challenge you to rethink almost every aspect of public schooling. He will open your eyes to unpleasant realities in schools, and to amazing new possibilities for students, their teachers, and the community at large. If you, as a parent, teacher, principal, or community member, care deeply and passionately about kids, then join us as we audaciously re-imagine our schools to always do what is best for kids.
