"Richard Garrett's proposals to reform public education are data-driven and supported by the testimony of public-school teachers, administrators, education scholars, and experts in the field. There is no doubt that the system needs reform in many ways. Garrett's book exposes the root causes of its failures and provides 22 workable solutions." --Jeff Rasley, Author of multiple books and President, Scientech Foundation of Indiana "Richard Garrett presents a blueprint of 22 workable pillars that might be able to hold up America's, top-heavy, and collapsing educational structure. These twenty-two pillars are reinforced by scholars, teachers, and common sense. Policymakers should read Garrett's blueprint, and enact his advice, before the collapse gets any worse." --Chris Edwards, Ed.D, current high school teacher and author of "Self-Taught, Moving from a Seat-Time Model to a Mastery-Learning Model.

" "In this research-laden analysis, Garrett methodically and intricately shares with readers what he does in fact know and why the existing situation is so dire -- and aims to offer solutions to fix it, as the title suggests.Anyone who cares about our youth and cares about our country should add this title to their must-read list." -- Booktrib.
