Being Fair with Kids: The Effects of Poor Leadership in Rule Making

This is a book about a serious tragedy which we can put right with courage and determination. It is a call to action that identifies problems, defines them, and names them. It is not about theory, although sound pedagogic principles inform the solutions and rigorous analysis undergirds the critique. It is not about speculation and conjecture, although there are logical inferences and commonsense optimism about a preferred future.

Parents agonize over when to begin their child's formal education but lack data for making informed decisions. Educators understand the issue intuitively but decision makers lack data for justifying reform. These informational needs are now available in Being Fair with Kids.
