Looking at the apple from every possible angle, Patricia Ellyn Powell has created a book that masquerades as an analysis of the American education system, but in actuality, explores the living problems that all of us face in this new millennium. The cycle of educational injustice is in full spin and will not stop until the very lifestyles of U.S. families change drastically. Filled with humor and common sense, this new genre of faction stuns the reader with real-life accounts from down in the trenches of education. Powell sounds the alarm for the current crisis of the national teacher shortage, insisting that the public school system in this country is now defunct. Drawing from her own experience as a mother and teacher, the author elevates the duties of parenting and educating to philosophical responsibilities that must now be faced to avoid impending doom. Professor Powells apocalyptic account reaches into the ordinary to extract the phenomenal. Her ability to facilitate logos, pathos, and ethos in everything from race relations to Ronald McDonald is uncanny. If raw and refined can exist together, here in Rotten Apples, they do. Her love of education allows her to take no hostages and polish no apples!
