FACT: Good teaching doesn’t guarantee proper learning. That’s where the “Laws of Learning” come in!

SO, Why are some schools failing?
And Eject Discipline They remove Values
They Wink at Cheating And Smirk at Prayer
They Fail at Phonics And Pass on Illiteracy
They Promote Sex And Flunk Virtue
They win at Sports And Lose at Reasoning
They Require Compliance And Reward Mediocrity
