Vern Thompson, Ph.D., says that you can’t blame a student’s lack of success on the excuse that, ‘kids today don’t want to learn.’ He says that’s just not true and if teachers and parents are willing to work with these students and generate creative new ways of presenting information, students will always have the desire to learn and to do
what’s right.

Dr. Thompson has been in the trenches of America’s education system, working at both private and public institutions, and he has unique insights on what’s wrong with our schools and how to fix them.

Vern will also discuss:

• Why he is against tenure for teachers (and felt the same way when he was a teacher).

• The top changes that need to be made in how we educate young people.

• Where the presidential candidates stand on education.

• What you can say to have your child honestly tell you what’s going on in school.

• How parents can take inventory of their children and get to know
them better.
