It is not too late for America to wake up and change her ways! Read this insightful book and start doing your part to solve the problems NOW. (For the savvy readers, another recommendation is "New Inequality" by Richard Freeman.)

Wonderful book that addresses the 70% who don't get a degree,
By george.lixfield@bigfoot.com (Boston, MA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Rethinking America: Innovative Strategies and Partnerships in Business and Education (Paperback)
Smith provides a well written pictures of the differences in how the US elementary and secondary schools differ from our global competitors. He illuminates the way Japan & Germany prepare the non-college bound for productive careers in today's economy. It stimulated my thinking about our school systems for the 70% who never get a degree and are ill-equiped for tomorrow's careers.
