An Assessment

by William F. Brazziel

Quality Educa­tion for All Americans is a succinct, hard­-hitting assessment of American education in the last quarter of the twentieth century. In it, author William F. Brazziel offers rational, step-by-step directions for educators, parents, and community leaders seeking to improve the lives of chil­dren throughout the country.  By pointing out the need for education as a step toward economic equality, Brazziel contends that through shifts in emphasis, forms, and pat­terns of schooling, minority stu­dents can meet the challenge of a rapidly changing work force.  In no-nonsense fashion, he delineates the roles and responsibilities business, government, schools, and the black community must assume to initiate a lit­eral renaissance of educational progress. 

Written with iconoclastic irreverence for religiously held edu­cational doctrines, Quality Educa­tion for All Americans meticulously examines emerging schooling alternatives, from the development of unprece­dented “cradle” schools for the poor to the establishment of a network of metropolitan colleges to accom­modate the black population shift to U.S. cities.  With education pres­ently under attack by the very scholars who set it apart as the so­lution to many of the nation's short­comings, Brazziel’s plan stands as a prag­matic, strategic, and logical approach by which the educational dreams of the 1960s could become the realities of the twenty-first century.
