    About this ebook

    Thomas Jefferson warned us of the danger of not targeting a patriotic purpose for education, even while the U.S. Constitution was being written. One of his major concerns was that if citizens were not educated to recognize tyranny they might not be able to recognize it; not if it occurred, but when it occurred. He knew the democratic principles of our republic would be challenged.

    The United States still has not established a basic principle, a standard, that guides our education purpose. This has been the primary reason our education efforts, our education system, continues to fail our students. Now, America is not serious about providing effective education.

    This book serves three purposes. First, to show how Jefferson’s concern about being educated to recognize tyranny against our democracy applies in our current generation, and during the generation of students now in school. Second, to illustrate how current students must be our new heroes. Third, to give twenty specific study skills to help those students find their hidden abilities to learning success.

    American Heroes: Students Who Learn is not just a simple study skills book. It’s a short book written for students in grades five through eight, or for any student who can read and understand well even in lower grades. Although it has 20 study skills to help students learn faster and easier, it has much more. It gives clear reasons why they must learn much more than just reading, writing and counting. It also explains why they must learn enough to become guardians, heroes, for America. At that age level, it explains the differences between capitalism and socialism, and why they must recognize the current challenges to our country regarding these concepts.

    It also includes a personal story that shows why and how learning is a step-by-step process, not that one has to be super-smart to learn. America is under attack. Students must understand that and be prepared to defend and protect our rights under our Constitution.
