Описание: Inspired by love of country, her Italian heritage, and this nation's ongoing quest to raise its children to aspire and achieve their greatest dreams, Jeanne Allen wrote An Unfinished Journey, which uniquely challenges us to think big about the education of our youth. The author-a well-known pioneer and veteran of education policy, politics, and culture-provides a compendium of powerful yet brief essays that will have parents, policy makers, and the general public both laughing and crying at the way the nation's education institutions have developed or mishandled all that it takes to help children achieve their greatest potential. From musings on Columbus Day to how kids behave in school and from the role of parents to politicians, this book is a uniquely informative and instructive firsthand account of the people, policies, and players that have shaped American education and why it matters. Combining a fascinating personal story with political acumen from more than thirty years in the arena, Allen paves the road to finishing the journey to the American dream.
