The modern school system seems beset on all sides by problems: inadequate funding, low test scores, and teacher turnover are just a few. But the most fundamental problem is the widespread disengagement of both teachers and students. This problem is caused by an even deeper flaw in the very nature of the system. The flaw is that the model of learning underlying the school system is wrong. Before other reforms can make a difference, we have to correct that flaw.That flawed model is based on delivering knowledge, skills, and information from teacher to student. The delivery model encourages practices which ignore or even thwart primary psychological needs, which has led to the disengagement that plagues the system.We can better align our educational system with the needs of students and teachers and with the way learning actually works. Schools already exist which support students' primary human needs. There are also tools available for measuring how well students' needs are supported, which can help us make positive changes and measure the results. Once we accept a better model of how learning works, schools can become joyful places where passionate teachers fully engage enthusiastic students. When students become fully engaged in school then education will become a reliable outcome of schooling.

USA circa 2628. The only thing unchanged? Those three letters. There are no states. There is no freedom. Lobbyists make all the laws. And a government of the people, by the people, and for the people died many, many years ago. The nation is now split in two: wealthy Atlas residents and impoverished Commons workers. The middle class, an endangered species, accounts for less than 1% of the already-shrunken population. Ravaged by stagnant wages, exorbitant taxation and limited education, Commoners, the majority of USA citizens, struggle to survive. The political and civil inequity has transformed "the land of the free" to "the home of the miserable" and destinies are no longer self-determined. The very values the nation once held dear have languished for centuries in history books no one has taken the time to read. No one except Decker Channing. A 32-year-old police officer, Decker has silently witnessed systematic oppression his entire life and knows it is the antithesis of what the founding fathers stood for. When a life or death situation forces him to make a split decision, Decker realizes he can no longer remain silent. Unwilling to watch his country descend into further tyranny, he rallies the men and women around him to rise up and take a stand. Drawing strength from the ideals of the abandoned Constitution, he and an unlikely band of friends fight to restore the USA to what it once stood for: life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. But in order to do this, one thing becomes clear. Atlas must die. **Please note that there are instances of profanity, mild violence, and unapologetic themes of religion, politics and spirituality within this work of fiction.

"I hurt for her. She wasn't much of a mother, but she was still my mother." Confronted with resurfacing feelings of guilt, D.G. Kaye is tormented by her decision to remain estranged from her dying emotionally abusive mother after resolving to banish her years ago, an event she has shared in her book Conflicted Hearts. In P.S. I Forgive You, Kaye takes us on a compelling heartfelt journey as she seeks to understand the roots of her mother's narcissism, let go of past hurts, and find forgiveness for both her mother and herself. After struggling for decades to break free, Kaye has severed the unhealthy ties that bound her to her dominating mother-but now Kaye battles new confliction, as the guilt she harbors over her decision only increases as the end of her mother's life draws near. Kaye once again struggles with her conscience and her feelings of being obligated to return to a painful past she thought she left behind.

Kaye bravely faces her childhood and her relationship with her mother, sharing this complex experience with us in her memoir P.S. I Forgive You: A Broken Legacy.
