THE DISTRICT

This book is a call to the nation: a wake-up call because we are sleeping on our children's education in America. In the past years, we have become derelict about issues in our public school system that is contradictory for our children's success. No Child Left Behind (NCLB) Act is destroying the fundamental essence of education, and America can no longer afford this policy. The old-school mentality of being in class on time, being prepared, and behaving is dead!

Our children are supposed to be the future leaders of tomorrow, but they are not being properly prepared for that responsibility. The NCLB policy dictates the teaching curriculum, but does not support critical thinking. Unfortunately, our children are attending school to learn how to take a test and nothing more. America, it's time for us to wake up and feed our seeds.

In addition, there is information that will uncover some well camouflaged corruption in the El Paso Independent School District. This district is flagrant in its discrimination, cronyism, and nepotism. This book was created based on observations from over ninety schools.
