Parents, Teachers, and Governors, I Am Afraid to Tell You... By: Vivica Houston Creating a fantasy world of irresponsibility and favor for cooperation is not good for the lives of our children.

In this guide, Vivica Houston offers gentle suggestions for parents and speaks from her own struggles and failures during her own high school years. She advocates for learning in team projects, low-key, and non-graded assignments and offers concrete ideas to help improve educational culture at every grade level as well as demonstrating how forced learning is a serious problem. Houston advocates for children and teenagers being provided with the choice to study and learn for themselves to understand on their own the value of education.
