Author & educator Gary Chattman returns to the show to discuss the release of his new book, My Child Left Behind.
About the book:
We all know the educational system in America is broken. It has been for some time. What if we could actually put the people responsible for this mess on trial, and ask them pertinent questions that they would have to answer, and hold them accountable for their educational sins? My book, "My Child Left Behind: How Government Standardizations Is Corrupting Our Most Precious Resource" does just that. I charge (Mr.) Common Core with creating a system that discriminates against all, a system that is supposed to homogenize education for all un-homogenized children, a system that was created by twenty-seven individuals in a room (no teachers and administrators present).
About the author:
Gary Chattman is the noted author of several books, Coming of Age, If I Should Die Before I Wake, and The Quixotic Teacher. His books span unique ideas not prevalent in today’s world; religious-based education that is individually motivated and educationally interesting; secular education that flies in the face of nonsensical standardized testing; and ridiculous education rules by educrats who have never taught. He celebrates the talent and world view of his students. He is a Bar/Bat Mitzvah/Judaica teacher for over thirty years; a piano teacher; a teacher for the S.A.T.; a teacher advocate and an advocate for his students. He is a concert pianist and is a motivating influence for children and their parents.
