A proposal to revolutionize American educationNo Size Fits All is a book whose time has come -- a book that offers a proposal that could revolutionize public school policies in the United States at the federal, state and local levels. The book calls upon Congress to require all public school systems that benefit from federal funding to offer parents and children a choice of alternative schools, some of which would use the time-tested Montessori, Waldorf and Sudbury methods to give American students more freedom in determining what they study and when. These alternative schools would be exempt from the broadly unpopular Common Core testing regime.
Author' s Website "This book is simply remarkable. It stands out from competing volumes because of its historical perspective, interesting case studies and practical suggestions. It is a stimulating resource for parents, educators, politicians and the general public. It will help them examine the advantages and disadvantages of both progressive and regimented education. "-Gerard Giordano, Professor of Education, University of North Florida, USA
