By: Alida Davis Abdullah

Narrated by: Alida Davis Abdullah

Education is broken, but it doesn’t have to be. In Skoolz R Dumb, Alida Davis Abdullah a no-nonsense and season educator and parent, cuts through the jargon and exposes the deep flaws and truths about today’s educational system. From endless testing to rigid curriculums, she’s seen firsthand how these outdated systems crush creativity and drown out the dreams of students, educators, and parents. However, this book isn’t just about pointing fingers with critiques. With a straight-talk approach, Alida delivers a beacon of hope, with real-world strategies to help anyone—from students to parents to educators—flip the script and reclaim power over their educational experience. We are breaking free from the system and building an environment where curiosity thrives, and education is collectively transformed.

This is overall a really good read and has some great sections that would make for good discussion during beginning of the school year professional development.
