Dr. B. Lee Brooks, who spent decades teaching in and serving as an administrator at challenging secondary schools, shares a candid picture of the problems schools face in this commentary. He highlights dirty deeds that occur in schools across the globe, such as illicit drug use, inappropriate behavior, sex, and general dysfunction. The author demonstrates how both students and adults are victimized on a daily basis. Authentic teaching and learning rarely happen at school, often because of external factors that have nothing to do with teaching students. Children, however, are the world's most precious resource - and the author argues that fathers, mothers, family and community members, educators, and administrators must all do a better job to help them succeed. It is up to all of us to embrace past and present failures and strive to make changes that will recapture the attention of our lost children. Find out how to do it with an insider's account of the problems we must overcome.
