Review of How To Fix Education in 5 Easy Steps
Posted: 21 Dec 2022, 06:59
[Following is an official OnlineBookClub.org review of "How To Fix Education in 5 Easy Steps" by Annie Shockey.]
Education is one of the greatest assets of any nation. Many nations of the world are aware of this fact and are investing massively in it. However, the education sector has suffered some setbacks in some nations due to some operational and management lapses. These are the issues How to Fix Education In 5 Easy Steps aims to address. The book is written by Annie Shockey.
Given Shockey's wealth of knowledge and experience from her forty-nine years of teaching, I think the opinions and suggestions she offers in this book are worth considering. She uses the American education system as a case study, but the issues discussed in this book are of global relevance.
Among other things, Shockey expresses her worry over the huge amounts of money budgeted annually on special education, the attempts to "standardize" school children, and poor teacher training and deployment. These concerns arise from her experiences as a school teacher and her observations in education policy making.
The author offers five measures to take to fix education. I found her ideas interesting and educative, especially the need to formulate education policies based on local realities and values and the benefits of adopting multi-step teacher training.
I support the author's position that "pass" and "fail" should not be the sole assessment of a student's performance. This measure can have some negative psychological effects on otherwise highly talented students, as can be seen in the lives of Dakota and the lady pursuing her "Cosmetology License."
I liked her opinion that education policies should have the primary goal of meeting children's needs. They should not be an avenue to make a public show of sophistication. Hence, the discussion should always be based on how efficient such policies are at raising future people who will be proud of themselves and of whom society can be proud.
I did not dislike anything in this book. It was painstakingly edited. I did not find any grammatical errors in it. I am pleased to rate it five out of five stars. The rating is based on the above positive points. I have absolutely no reason to rate it lower.
Ministers and commissioners for education will find the suggestions offered in this book insightful. Heads of institutions of learning, teachers, and other educational policymakers will find helpful guidance in this book. This is an informative handbook for pupils and students. It will help them better appreciate the essence of acquiring education.
