Socialized to Rebel

Socialized to Rebel: Changing the Course of America's Children and Youth describes decades of changes in the way parents interact with their children and the impact that this has had on public school education. Today's educators are required to teach students 21st Century Critical Thinking Skills while simultaneously meeting their growing social, emotional, behavioral, and mental health needs. Decades of national academic decline along with increases in student mass violence act as testaments to public schools' ineffectiveness to meet such widespread needs. But, these issues can change with a little hope, a jump rope and an old-fashioned board game.
