Every day we bemoan the failures of our public education. We turn out too many high school graduates who can't multiply 9X9, don't know how to spell Utah or where it is, can't understand a newspaper, can't fill out a job app. Graduates who enter college and right away have to take refreshers in too many subjects. How come? How sad.
Arthur Woznicki, a former teacher, principal, and principals' principal in one of our finest public school districts, has figured it out: Principals are not doing their principal job. And that job, he says, is to teach teachers how to teach. He goes on to explain in detail how to teach this.
His analysis turns out to be an insightful and enormously important one, with a practical and budget-sensitive solution, plus, best of all, an immediate pay-off for everyone concerned in the educational process, which means everyone interested enough to be reading this review.
He says, "We have good pupils, scores of good teachers, and a number of good principals. What is needed is a re-organization and re-direction, based on careful observation and common sense.
This is why his wonderfully timed book, "It's the Principal of the Thing," is urgent and important reading for all of us...school board members, administrators, principals and teachers, and of course parents and taxpayers.
He says, "We have been short-changing our youth and wasting billions."_ I agree with him. In these compelling pages of his, we can all find the fix. Reading his book is the first step. Our next step is to back him as he spreads the word.
