All students have the right to an excellent education
Peter Cookson boldly describes a proposed education bill of rights for American students, including ideas on how to restructure the United States Department of Education. The book asserts that all children have the right to:
• Attend a school that is funded for 21st-century excellence
• Develop individual learning styles to the optimal extent
• Have their heritages honored and incorporated into study
Through vivid storytelling and relevant research, Cookson provides specific and innovative steps for creating a concrete action plan that will lead to just, equitable, and world-class schools.
