Editorial Reviews

Product Description

Recent changes in our national school system have resulted in neither a return to strong, traditional education nor the pursuit of higher academic standards, but rather the implementation of a radical new philosophy known as "Outcome-based Education." This book offers the facts about the changes taking place in school systems and helps readers find out what they can do to bring education back under parental control.

5.0 out of 5 stars A tremendous resource regarding OBE or "Mastery Learning", December 5, 1998

By A Customer

What an incredible book!! This is a must read for anyone who is interested in learning more about OBE and how it is being implemented, not only in Oregon, but across the U.S. Filled with facts and resources. I read this entire book in one night. MUST NOTE This book is written by a member of Oregon's legislature. Highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent synopsis of outcome-based education, January 26, 2000

By A Customer

For those of us living in OBE states, this book is an eye-opener. The author validates many of the doubts parents have had about OBE. The book is well-researched, informative, and an easy read. You'll especially find the information on the backgrounds and agendas of those pushing OBE to be enlightening. It's well worth the effort to find the book.
