Hands Up America

This book deals with the author’s attempt to change America’s system of education. For the past two-hundred and fifty years, teaching has been about the same. Teachers have given information to their students that the teachers want the students to know and be tested on. Most of these teachers have used the same text and teaching materials over their career. From Haut’s many contacts and taking a long hard look at his own professional teaching career, he believes it is time to make teaching changes for the twenty-first century.

You might not agree with all the author’s proposals but they make a lot of sense. Teachers will no longer teach to the middle of the pack. By doing this, they are losing most of their students along the way. They are either above most of the students heads or so boring to the advanced students, reaching each and every students at their level of understanding with modern and new technology is something that’s needed by all concerned. After reading this book, you can decide for yourself.
