Schooled: The Miseducation of an American Teacher
Daily headlines catalog the reasons that public schools across America–and the people in them–are in a precarious Violence and chronic absenteeism; historically low test scores and apathetic parents; overwhelmed teachers and overmedicated students; a lack of academic rigor and a surplus of progressive ideology. Schooled takes you vicariously into this world through the experiences and observations of an American teacher who got his start in the classroom as a Peace Corps Volunteer in Nepal. Following 21 years in international school classrooms, with stops in Singapore, India, and Indonesia, the author returns to the U.S. in 2022 with his family and re-enters the hallways of a public school for another year of teaching. It may be his last.

An insightful and fascinating read.
This book should be on the must read list of any parent with a child who is graduating grade 8 and will enter the US state educational system.
Johnson's relaxed and enjoyable text is an eye opening window into the current "gray water" that permeates American society. Where a shifting pendulum has created an educational "dumbbell effect" in US state High Schools.
