Robert Pondiscio on The Lost Decade

“The highest praise one can offer is envy: I wish I’d written this book. Steven Wilson’s The Lost Decade: Returning to the Fight for Better Schools in America is not just another education book; it’s a barn-burner that fearlessly confronts the failures and evasions that continue to plague American K-12 education. Wilson, a true visionary, asks the essential question: “Can we provide a rich and engaging liberal arts education—the education long afforded children from privilege—to all children?” His unapologetic answer is a call to action to return to what has been proven to work in education, to reclaim lost ground, and to ignite a long overdue era of educational excellence.”
