Despite being an excellent student and loving learning, he became convinced that school was not achieving its end of providing the best education possible. Other students, business partners, intellectuals, and parents convinced him along the way. The End of School is a look -- both theoretical and practical -- at how to fix that.Slayback addresses the book to students, educators, parents, and employers of all stripes and ages.
