The old seat-time model of shuffling students through regimented classrooms designed like military outfits of rows and columns must give way to the mastery learning model in which students learn to master a subject before moving on. But how? With 3.6 million teachers in over 14,000 school districts the momentum built up over the past century is seemingly insurmountable. But educational reformer and teacher Chris Edwards outlines how we can make the changes necessary to prepare students for the rest of the century in this important book that should be read by everyone who cares about education, which should be all of us. --Michael Shermer, Publisher Skeptic magazine, Presidential Fellow Chapman University Public education is like the weather: everyone complains about it but no one ever does anything about it.
