Education Reimagined

Education Reimagined is a book that was self-published to tackle the issues facing the U.S. education system. The book takes a student's perspective to inform and give students a voice to speak up and speak out against the bureaucracy of the system and the U.S. government. The book looks at nine major issues facing the U.S. education system in part one of the book and lastly looks to the future of the system. The second part of the book is narratives from students that volunteered to write for the book. It allows students to freely speak on an issue they care about and share their personal story regarding the topic they choose to write about. Lastly, it ends with the students giving a solution to the problem they discuss and how to go about changing or fixing the issue.

I will be using Vocal via Jerrick Ventures to have weekly blogs based on topics of my book as well as new topics in the U.S. education system. I will be giving my perspective on these issues in blog format. I will be posting every weekend. So come back every Sunday night to see a new blog posted. I would love to interact with my readers, so do not forget to comment and criticize my views.
