			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img alt="" src="http://tuxedopress.eaph.com/share/DK1/Donfz.jpg" title="Don Kingsland" class="alignleft" width="113" height="150" /> During the years I spent teaching over a 50 year span on the East Coast, the West Coast and the South, I witnessed so many changes in U.S. Public Education.</p>
<p>More importantly, I learned what worked and what didn&#8217;t work in motivating students (and teachers) to academic excellence.</p>
<p>As a great-grandfather, I felt compelled to share the winning techniques and education-enhancing programs I developed during my many years of teaching. </p>
<p>I wrote a book about a PROVEN, WORKABLE Plan that was implemented successfully in schools on both coasts, to turn around failing schools and students. </p>
<p><strong>&#8220;Set Our Teachers FREE! A Plan To Save Public Education&#8221;</strong> details the complete, common sense plan that turned entire schools into successful, productive academic and social successes.</p>

. . . Your plan is about one thing, common sense!  Simple ethics, teaching reading early, discipline, self-discipline and memorization of times tables are common sense things that will improve the schools and society as a whole. . .</p>
<p>I always tell people my job in school administration is a support service, and that main my job is to support teachers with their needs.  Also, they don’t need some top-down curriculum shoved down their throats!  Teachers need to be able to collaboratively develop their curriculum.</p>
<p>It seems that today, anything goes and common sense has been forgotten.  Schools cannot follow that norm.</p>
<p>I enjoyed the book and will tell others.</p>
