    About this ebook

    The American educational system is defunct. Patty Degen, a retired public school teacher with over 40 years' experience in the classroom, has written a treatise which, in surprisingly few words, explains exactly why and what the solutions are. One would have to read many, many books to get to this educational digest. Patty, of course, over the years, has consumed all of these books and has delved into all the "secrets" which takes a lot of digging. A must-read for anyone with young children or grandchildren or for anyone considering a teaching career.

      Sing a little song about Columbus, Halloween, George Washington, or a Christmas carol, say the Pledge of Allegiance, and even occasionally hear a verse from the Bible. Ladies and gentlemen, all those things except the Pledge of Allegiance (and it’s even under attack) are passé in today’s schools. In New Jersey, they even want to restrict ‘with liberty and justice for all’ since affirmative action is preferred. And it’s getting worse. Each day brings some new affront. John Adams said in 1765: ‘A native of America who cannot read or write is as rare an appearance as a comet or an earthquake.’

      INTRODUCTION

      A RUDE AWAKENING FROM THE 1960’s TO WHAT WE HAVE NOW

      I taught school in New Jersey in the 1960’s; at that time I believed the schools there to be second-to-none, my daughter having attended for 3 years. We then moved to Germany where I taught at a Dept. of Defense School which was a regular American public school. Upon returning to New Jersey after a 38- year absence, it literally blew my mind when I realized what had happened. It took a hospital stay and 1-½ years to recover. I should have known because I had been researching education since 1990, but somehow I believed this particular town could not have fallen for such folly.

      I’m a teacher who is retired from a 42-year career in the public schools. I learned from the children that each can learn to his potential and can enjoy this challenge. That’s why I’m writing this since it, for the most part, isn’t happening today. First, thanks to the hundreds of children I had the honor of teaching over the years. And thanks to Jasper Ho, engineer and education activist of Kutztown, PA, who has produced many studies that argue for free market principles to be brought into our public school system, one of which is the voucher system.
