About this audiobook
Can we improve our educational system for the future? Has school become too much of a social institution? Open the Book draws a powerful conclusion regarding topics of interest and concern to parents, educators, and the general tax-paying public. With more than thirty years teaching experience, author Lucian Durso reveals his most eccentric, efficient, and unconventional solutions to teachers, school personnel, and aspiring educators who are struggling to influence youth. Should we have special schools that emphasize more physical abilities then academics? Do we need a program for those students who are not successfully functioning in a regular public school setting? Open the Book and find out!
