Counterfeit Kids: Why they can't think and how to save them

<p>"Do you want the secret to your child's success in school and beyond? Rod Baird, veteran high school teacher, tells us the truth of it in Counterfeit Kids, but the truth may be hard to swallow. Swallow it you must if you want your high schooler to succeed in the complex 21st century. With courage and vision, Baird trumpets the obvious reality that the emperor wears no clothes; he unmasks the cult of college, its disastrous effects on core skills that not only govern a successful career, but guide a life well lived, and charts a way out of this mess we are in with education in America. Filled with examples from Baird's classroom, personal tales, brilliant thinking, and an infectious passion for learning, the insights housed between these covers could change your child's life and redirect our country's shaky global future." -Lisa Dale Norton, Author, Hawk Flies Above: Journey to the Heart of the Sandhills and Shimmering Images: A Handy Little Guide to Writing Memoir (both from St. Martin's Press)</p>
