How are our schools in crisis? Why should Christians get involved? Why not just start our own schools? What can we do to help?
This short book answers these questions in a quick and concise form that can be shared with friends, family, church members, etc.
Inequality in American education is a social problem, and it's a big one. Many minority groups in this country don't make it to college. If they do, they are quite often woefully unprepared and many times do not finish. It is a shame that the quality of our children's education has to be determined by their zip code. Families that live in poorer neighborhoods already have trouble providing as many opportunities to their children outside of school. The schools do not provide as many opportunities, not necessarily because the teachers are not good teachers but often because they are underfunded and don't get enough help.
This book provides reasons why our schools are in crisis, statistics that show overwhelmingly that Christians want to help, and talks about what we can do to help. Take a couple of hours of your time to read this short book so you can get inspired or get ideas in your mind to help your local schools. When we invest in our children, we invest in our future!
