Abstract

Can Schools Survive? raises essential questions about the current status of schools and about the future of schools. The book explores vital questions to answer and considers actions to take so schools can begin to thrive. This book will raise the issue of the purpose of a school and the related issue of whether schools are being asked to do tasks which compete with or complicate the fundamental purpose of a school.

This book is interactive and encourages the reader to answer challenging questions, analyze trends in education, and envision the most desired future of schools. The text can help educators and other people concerned about education concentrate on what matters most and on what works best.
