5.0 out of 5 stars NO ONE EXPLAINS THE EDUCATION CRISIS BETTER, November 22, 2008

By	Michael A. Banak "mabanak" (Oak Lawn, IL USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Walking Targets (Paperback)

If you are going to get involved in education reform, you must be resolved on three (3) points: 1) You are in for the fight of your life. 2) You must act locally. 3) You must refer to Beverly Eakman's books for your foundational research.

Countless debates are diverting attention from the critical issues that Bev Eakman lays out for us. Example: Instead of debating "Tests vs. No Tests". You should be asking, "What's on those tests?" Indeed, a sample of today's academic assessments typically cover an array of personal questions about home and family, which are mere fishing expeditions for demographic data and markers for family intervention. Ignore this fact, and you will have to find out the hard way. Expect a lesson in political correctness along the way.

Bev Eakman's latest book is a compilation of new findings, penned since her landmark publication, "Cloning of the American Mind: Eradicating Morality through Education" (ISBN-10: 1563841479). Timely and timeless, point after point, her observations remain spot-on and ever more prophetic.

America has allowed the education system to run on autopilot while we played in other sandboxes. "Walking Targets" is the perfect analysis of developments at school while our backs were turned. Our kids are being psychoanalyzed, drugged, indoctrinated and manipulated to the point of disbelief. And they are doing it in the name of science, so you better like it. Not scared enough yet? Through your own children, your privacy is also under attack. And you better not complain. That will wind up in the survey as well.

Bev Eakman also draws the most cogent connection between school-age drugs (like Ritalin) and the rise in school violence.

"Walking Targets" spells out the source of these trends, the pseudo-science at the under-pinning, and the political motivation for these practices. One particular essay "Uncle Sam's Classroom" (my own favorite) chronicles a typical fiasco in this system, where a cloud of mental health experts target a normal 10 year old school boy from Cuba, with a potpourri of fashionable labels and groundless diagnoses. His entire family is drawn into a black hole of intrusive social services. The story is a thriller - and I won't tell you the tear-jerk ending.

Once you get the book, you might jump ahead to "Outsourcing Parenthood" or "Crimes of Opinion". Your choice. Even if these things haven't happened in your community yet, they will be driving by really soon. I heartily recommend "Walking Targets" and all of B. K. Eakman's works.
