Have high schools killed the American Dream? Across America 857 unmotivated and unskilled students drop out of school each hour of every school day. Billions of taxpayer dollars are wasted. Solutions for this national disaster have eluded educators for decades. Until now. In Maximum Impact Education the talk stops and the answers begin. Educator and author Jack E. Oakes reveals for the first time six strategies that can transform American high schools. Oakes points out surprising ways to strengthen and reshape the future of any community, large or small. Detailed charts, original graphs and real-life insights show readers how to do the heavy lifting needed to change high schools, and renew the American Dream.
