America's public schools have changed little in 200 years. We still use one teacher in one classroom, with one textbook, to teach some 20 or 30 students. An education that was adequate for agricultural workers is not good enough for workers in today's information based world. We need to modernize America's public schools. Our students can learn better, and then America will do better in the global economy. "The Better Learning System" described in this book would employ computers with special multimedia software and a progressive multichannel learning structure. Then each student could learn and move ahead at his or her own speed. This learning process is similar to what many students employ when playing complex computer games on their own time. "Schools are for Learning" shows how our public education system can be improved, step by step. America's high school students deserve a better education and the chance for a much better life.
