War Against Schools: Academic Child Abuse After reading this book you will understand why tyou don't like or trust teachers and schools. It is a logical argument opposed to dumb asserions, research against hoping and praying. After reading this you will understand that it os not your fault or your child's and you will know what to do to fix the problem. Thanks Mr. Engelmann John S

Excellent, and it still holds true!

As a teacher, I know how fads can come and go. But Dr. Engelmann's work stands up time and time again to rigorous testing. Please read this if you're interested in ways to understand more about the culture of education and how it can affect your life, and more importantly, your child's.

Penetrating examination of our public school system!

Written by an educator with more than 25 years of experience teaching elementary school children, dealing with public school administrators, and managing private training organization, this book is a penetrating examination of our public schools. As a Professor of Special Education for more than 20 years, Professor Englemann also understands all of the popular educational theories and buzzwords. Using his knowledge of both theory and practice, Professor Englemann give both professionals--and laypeople such as parents and legislators--examples of how educational theorists and public educators have neglected the trees while concentrating on the forest. Anyone interested in more fully understanding the debate surrounding our public educational systems should read War Against the Schools' Academic Child Abuse.
