I derive no benefit from dwelling on old wounds. However, it is necessary to examine factors that contributed to poor-quality education in our public schools - including many reform efforts that were tried and failed - before proceeding to an education renewal plan proposed in America's Educational Crossroads. I, too, appreciate happy endings.We have witnessed advancements across industries that are currently thriving due to their willingness to invest in innovative changes. Our public education system needs to be on par with the growth achieved by other industries. America's Educational Crossroads proposes overhauling our current public education system so we can make it a more prosperous educational experience for every student. One example of what a 21st century education renewal plan could look like is the Collaborative High School Campus Model featured in a video, and available to those who purchase America's Educational Crossroads. The model illustrates the benefit of new schools fully resourced to ensure the achievement of a commitment to equity and quality education for all students. Having equitable resources, aligned with equitable policies that enable all students to obtain academic achievement at the highest standards while cultivating an environment that fosters healthy maturational social growth is the foundation of the education renewal plan proposed in America's Educational Crossroads. Other equitable resources for improving academic performance in all schools will be shared in two future educational books-Cultivating Exceptional Classrooms and Changing Misconceptions about the Principal's Office-slated for publication in 2023 and 2024. All three books describe resources and road maps we can follow to help students achieve high academic standards, develop skills that foster healthy social development, and develop job skills that will prepare them for future careers of their choosing. It is my hope that those who read my books and view the video will conclude that achieving a happy ending has to first begin with a willingness to start from new beginnings.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ LIKE_NEW \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49595844231441,"sku":"GOR012858758","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":50993902715153,"sku":"NIN9781954912007","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1954912005.jpg?v=1750933159"},{"product_id":"changing-misconceptions-about-the-principal-s-office-book-julie-coles-9781954912083","title":"Changing Misconceptions About The Principal's Office","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":50993901043985,"sku":"NIN9781954912083","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1954912080.jpg?v=1750868973"},{"product_id":"wait-who-got-goosed-tm-companion-activity-book-book-julie-coles-9781954912120","title":"Wait...Who Got Goosed?(TM) Companion Activity Book","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Companion Activity Book invites middle grade kids to continue the merriment of the Wait...Who Got Goosed?\u003cem\u003eTM\u003c\/em\u003e poetry book adventures.
