The Wrong Emphasis is a reminder and a warning for both parents and public
school educators. In the world of high-octane curriculum, assessment, and
accountability, relevant adults too often neglect the realities associated with
successful students – and successful adults. The book examines the current
status of public education in America, the associated political landscape, and
the latest philosophies aimed at improving test scores. Further, it offers
straight-forward advice for parents and educators as they struggle to
appropriately raise and teach today's children.
