This book focuses on today's education relative to its effectiveness for preparing students for the future. The matter of purposes for education today remains controversial in that future success looms important by a considerable portion of the citizenry while preparing for success in the future is of great importance for other individuals and groups. The book considers both sides of the purpose question. Predicting the needs for the future is a difficult matter at best.
