Experienced Educator Explains the Inadequacy of Public Schools in New Book
By Mimi Rothschild
Patricia Kokinos, a teacher and an assistant principal for more than 25 years paints a dark picture of the public school system in America. “Angel Park” is a fictional novel that was inspired by Kokinos career as an educator and her experiences in fighting for school reform. The novel describes the dismal state that public schools are in and the urgent need for public school reform.
Kokinos was rejected from a number of publishing houses because they did not agree with her belief that a novel should be written on the downfall of public schools in America. She finally decided to print the novel herself through the independent publishing house iUniverse. I’m glad she did!
“Angel Park” is now receiving national media attention and is a finalist for the Foreword’s Magazine Book of the Year Award. Read more about Patricia Kokinos book.
My children have benefited from a great alternative to the public school system: homeschooling. Christian homeschooling has provided my children with wonderful and individualized educations. Kokinos boldy tells us how and why public schools fail students. I, and many of you, can tell the world why homeschooling provides our children with world-class educations that give them a head start in their lives.
