""An important work that will benefit the entire community."

Preface

One in four North Americans can't read a newspaper. Eight percent of university graduates, eleven percent of college graduates and seventeen percent of high school graduates are illiterate, according to Canada's Council of Education Ministers. The situation is at least as bad in the United States.

For the last 25 years, Michael Maloney of QLC Educational Services and his colleagues in learning centers and schools across North America have been teaching such people to read, write, spell and do arithmetic in a matter of weeks or at most months. Illiterate adults are commonly made college-ready in a year or less and, once there, they survive better than public school graduates.

The methods employed by Maloney and his colleagues are in the public domain, are sold by major educational publishers, and are completely available to every school in both nations. These programs are supported by seventy-five years of combined empirical research including the largest, most expensive, long-term comparative study of educational methods in the Western world.

They are not only virtually ignored by public education, but in documented instances, schools and programs using these methods have been closed down, the teachers transferred and in some cases released from employment.

Illiteracy's abiding international disgrace occurs at the very time when politicians and school administrators beg for understanding and promise massive educational reform to get North Americans out of the lowest places on international tests.

Teach Your Children Well chronicles the history and current status of the successful efforts by Michael Maloney and his staff, the technologies, his associates and their stories. It analyzes the reasons for schools' rebuffing proven methods while simultaneously creating growing amounts of ignorance in millions of students at every level in the best-funded schools on the planet. It suggests options and ways they can be implemented so that the public school systems of North America can begin to Teach Your Children Well.
