America, Our Children, Ourselves: a Quest for Insight / Action Naomi Brookins

This writing lights a vista of hope that leads to empowered action for today's troubled educational system. It also illuminates an in-depth and insightful view of the fact that too many of our time-tested virtues have been removed from the educational process and place on hold. I emphatically believe that the American people have the right to soar upward and surge ahead within our dynamic technological world. Nevertheless, we must never forget that if we're to continue to be the leading nation in the free world, we must reintegrate the many priceless virtues into our teaching as we teach for wholeness of person/purpose. We begin to do this as our dads and moms to-be make it possible for their children to begin life with a healthy mental and physical head start for development. Then the families, churches, schools, and communities must work interdependently to reinforce the needs of all students at every phase of learning. Then, and only then, will we be able to prepare our youth for living and leadership in our very complex world.
