A guide to understanding:

  • What outcomes are;

  • Why achieving competency in the 3Rs is not education's first objective;

  • That student assessment and parent's reports are teachers' judgments;

  • That the assessment method facilitates students reaching senior level and graduating grossly underachieved in literacy and numeracy;

  • How education is manipulating morals, values and behaviour without parents' knowledge and consent;

  • What you and our nation should do and can do about the educational crisis.

Psychological warfare in schools:

Exposed and thoroughly explained is psychiatrist Dr. J. L. Moreno's psychosocio therapeutic methods used for behaviour modification of mental institution patients and prison inmates. His methods are today's teaching techniques. University student teachers are trained in utilising group sociodramas which changes individual values to dependency on peer group values, resulting in social morals and situation ethics.

 

'tis an ideological war:

Outcome-Based Education foisted on Australia is not a passing fad or an experiment gone wrong. It is a 100-year old ideological war, and the sooner parents understand the role of education in this war, the better off will be their child, family and nation.

 

Saying-it-like-it-is about:

  • The philosophies, purposes and values being inculcated by education's unwritten and hidden curriculum;

  • What the bureaucrats' syllabuses are really teaching your child, without your knowledge and consent;

  • How and why the teaching and learning process results in students under-achieving.

Other books:

Today's Education: Failing our Children explains the role of multiculturalism and political correctness in politicising education for the purpose of social reform. For a comprehensive overview of the ideological war, Burmeister's other two books are complementary to and interlock with Today's Education: Failing our Children.
