Hardback. Zustand: Very Good. During his four-decade career at NPR and PBS, John Merrow reported from every state in the union, as well as from dozens of countries, on topics including America's obsession with standardized testing, the low standards of many teacher-training institutions, how corporate greed created an epidemic of attention deficit disorder, and Michelle Rhee's indifference to cheating in Washington, D.C.

Along the way, he taught in a high school, at a historically black college, and at a federal penitentiary.Now, the revered education correspondent of PBS NewsHour distills his best thinking on education into a twelve-step approach to fixing a K-12 system that Merrow describes as being 'addicted to reform' but unwilling to address the real issue: American public schools are ill-equipped to prepare young people for the challenges of the twenty-first century.This insightful book looks at how to turn digital natives into digital citizens and why it should be harder to become a teacher but easier to be one.
