  107. schools have resulted in the staggering statistic of 80 million undereducated Americans,
  108. according to Friedman, head of a nonprofit organization that gathers research on
  109. teaching methods. In this very plainspoken book, Friedman weighs in on the debate
  110. about what is wrong with public schools and how to fix them. He criticizes the usual
  111. solutions that are offered to ailing school systems: small class sizes, ability grouping,
  112. whole-language instruction...Instead, he advocates very basic teaching techniques:
  113. repetition; readiness that prepares children to learn particular skills; corrective
  114. instruction: quizzing students until they grasp concepts; and one-on-one tutoring
  115. and instruction. He advises using simple tools from performance motivators to memory
  116. joggers to boost student achievement. Friedman backs up his advice with research
  117. on the effectiveness of teaching methods and offers parents and teachers simple,
  118. sound advice on helping children to learn.&quot;</i><BR>
