Book Cover & Preview Text
Education in America is in crisis. Now. We must act. Now. No more procrastination. No more first aid. We cannot continue to put band-aids on a seriously-infected, deep wound. The patient will soon die. In many cases s/he already has. We cannot improve our children's education until we change our entire philosophy of education, including our basic assumptions about educational objectives and educational methodology. We must begin by rejecting the myths that are being perpetuated about effective teaching and learning. To start, we must discover the most important variables for a superior education. This knowledge will provide the solution to the problem.

About the Book
The TOTIL method of education will help your child learn twice as much from kindergarten through high school. It’s easy to understand and even easier to implement. TOT stands for “time on task,” and IL stands for “independent learning.” By focusing on these two key areas, your child can be home-schooled to become better at math, English, and advanced subjects. He or she will be able to write, research, and think better when it’s time to enter college. Dr. Doris Leclerc Ball, a retired teacher and psychologist, spent more than forty years perfecting the TOTIL method. In this guidebook, you’ll discover • the critical importance of learner-centered education; • the obsolete nature of most teachers and how to replace them; • the simple curriculum and materials your child needs to succeed; • many other insights on how to help your child learn. Your child can master the knowledge and skills necessary to compete at the highest levels for grades, jobs, and more. It begins with a roadmap for Revolutionizing Education in America.
