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