A New Answer for Our Broken Education System

By: Ron Paul

Narrated by: Steve Coulter

Length: 5 hrs and 30 mins

Publisher's summary

Twelve-term Texas Congressman, Presidential candidate, and #1 New York Times best-selling author Ron Paul returns with a highly provocative treatise about how we need to fundamentally change the way we think about America's broken education system in order to fix it.

Whether or not you have children, you know that education is vital to the prosperity and future of our society. Yet our current system simply doesn't work. Parents feel increasingly powerless, and nearly half of Americans give our schools a grade of "C". Now, in his new book, Ron Paul attacks the problem head-on and provides a focused solution that centers on strong support for home schooling and the application of free market principles to the American education system. Examining the history of education in this country, Dr. Paul identifies where we've gone wrong, what we can do about it, and how we can change the way we think about education in order to provide a brighter future for Americans.

I gathered new knowledge-The motives of educators

I thought this was an amazing audio program on education and it has inspired me to want to teach my children differently. Thanks Ron Paul and may God bless you greatly. I have read 2 of your books now and I find them to be life changing reads.

Enlightening and Encouraging

My daughter isn't even 2 years old yet, but homeschooling has always been something we've considered. After looking into the expensive local private schools and listening to this, I'm now convinced that there is no other viable alternative for my family. More importantly, this book has helped me feel more confident in my own ability to provide the type of quality education that my kids deserve. Thanks for all you do, Ron!

A must read for any parent or educator

Great Book with Realistic Solutions

I love how Dr. Paul first takes you through the history of education and schooling to give you insight to how we got where we are today. I'm convinced that public schools don't have our children's best interest in mind. my child will be home schooled and I look forward to using the Ron Paul Cirriculum as my guide.

Very enlightening and eye opening

This audiobook made me aware of a lot problems with taxpayer-funded schools, and alternatives available for school choice.

So good I ordered the book

I wish every member of our state school board and local district boards would get this book and digest it. There is a revolution happening in education as parents wake up to not being trapped in a one-size-fits-all system. This book shares important principles and gives great ideas to parents and educators on things that can be done to provide a better and cheaper education for our children.

Any additional comments?

This was helpful but maddening. Dr. Paul explains why a one side fits all education doesn't work and he gives stats about this top heavy system. He also explains the common pathology that runs through the school staff. I've had a ton of problems with my son's school and I've learned that public school is where logic and reason have come to die. He explains why. Thank GOODNESS!
