The Missing Link in American Education
Educational reform cannot be imposed. It is the belief of long-time educator and educational professional. Joseph Cortese Ed.D. that corporate reformers in education are wrong. In Cortese's book The Missing Link in American Public Education, he discusses how corporate reformers love the word "innovation." but they lack the knowledge of children and how they learn. They all too often rely only on data, which can be skewed, misapplied, and misinterpreted. Instead of involving community feedback, particularly from parents and teachers, they attempt, unsuccessfully, to convert schools into a part of their corporate portfolios. With that in mind. it doesn't make sense to fix a system that is not completely broken. Do surgeons work on all organs of the body while performing life saving operations on one organ? Cortese implores education professionals to diagnose the problems in public education before they allow it to die, or look for change. In the book, Cortese examines the question that he believes to be most crucial to education: How big a problem is fatherlessness? He believes it is the missing link!
