Take just a quick look at the effects of the past half-century's attempted educational reforms and it's clear the American public school system has been in decline for the last 50 years, says author and retired educator Renato Nicolai. In his eye-opening new book, "The Nightmare That Is Public Education: An Exposé of What Really Happens in Public Schools," Dr. Nicolai gives his assessment of public education, based on 38 years of experience as a teacher and school administrator. "The public education system is rooted in the false notion that all teachers are qualified educators who can be trusted to make good decisions, follow school district rules and regulations, work together in a spirit of collegiality, promote the welfare of students as a priority, and generally, do what is just, moral and professional," Nicolai says. "This description is simply not true."
