A Teacher's Odyssey Through the Incompetence of American Public Education

William Levich Eugene William Levich

A Teacher's Odyssey through the Incompetence of American Public Education is a shocking expose of American public education. Our schools earn a failing grade, with only six out of ten ten-year-olds across the nation being able to read and with half of all new teachers quitting the profession within five years. And things are getting worse. This situation presents an unacceptable threat to our national security and our future. No book, until now, has precisely identified the causes of that failure: the decades long systemic incompetence of leadership at all levels, and the strangulating regulations that prevent teachers from performing effectively.

The book presents a clear and detailed plan to make the American educational system the best in the world, rather than just the most expensive. Without the implementation of this plan, hopes for regeneration in American public education remain a fantasy; they will never materialize. This book should be required reading for any teacher, parent, school board member, or legislator seeking massive improvements in education without the expenditure of a single additional tax dollar.

Towards the end of his career, the author led a successful district-wide faculty revolt against an administration that harmed the children it was supposed to protect and educate, and he is now engaged in organizing a nationwide movement to change the leadership structure of American education."
