About the Book

Many contemporary American middle schools are stuck in a state of "arrested development", failing to implement the original concept of middle schools to varying, though equally corruptive degrees. The individual chapters of the book outline in detail how to counter this dangerous trend, offering guidance to those who seek immediate, significant, internal reforms. For readers outside the US, this title provides not just an insight into another country's education system in crisis but also holds up a mirror to our own.
