This book arrived safely and in good condition. However, reading it was awful. This book repeats the same few points over and over again, trying to grind the reader into really understanding the point. There are a lot of stories and talk about the exact same points. Let me save you some time. Kids used to be able to succeed no matter where they were born or how much money their family had. That has changed due to families and society degrading. That's it. That's the book. It could have been written as a research paper and still had all the same content.
Having graduated High School in the mid-fifties also; I was stunned to thumb through this catalog of challenges and barriers children face today. I had no idea! And to make things worse, I thought I was paying attention!
This book is a must read for anyone that grew up in the 50s and 60s and unwisely assumes that a majority of today's kids have the same family, social, educational and community support structures that kids had at mid-century. Today's kids are just as loved as they were at mid-century, but the people providing that love have fewer resources at their disposal and fewer places to turn for help. As a society, we all need to understand this. Without understanding, there can be no solutions.Returning soldiers from WWII took advantage of the GI Bill and found employment in a growing economy. Mom stayed home, dad went to work, and the "Leave it to Beaver" world pretty much became a reality for the majority of baby boomers who found an abundance of supportive adults and readily available activities in their communities. At mid-century the village was willing and able to raise up every child. The community, school, neighborhood, and parent network never failed to ensure my parents had advanced knowledge of any misdeed I committed long before I arrived home. It was similarly equipped to provide recognition and encouragement when I did something positive. This kind of community vision, commitment and cohesion is what we now need to start working to recreate. As a society, we have changed in some very fundamental ways, but none of those changes individually or collectively can or should keep us from recreating and sustaining a supportive community for our children.I grew up in a family and community that took an active interest in ensuring I would grow up into a responsible adult. I understood that if I studied and worked hard, scholarships and opportunities would be the ultimate reward for my effort. As a parent and teacher I passed this formula for success on to my children and students. "Our Kids: The American Dream in Crisis" was a reality check for me. I now realize the formula for success that worked well for me now works for a smaller and smaller percentage of kids in our society. Single parent families, families with both parents working, grandparents raising their grand children, pay to play extracurricular opportunities, drug addiction, incarceration, economic segregation, and disparity of opportunity/learning environment in schools have become the new normal. Robert Putnam has done our society a big favor by clearly establishing that "our kids" are facing some pretty tough challenges. More importantly, he has started what needs to be a continuing discussion and even has some suggestions on where we can start to build solutions to the challenges "our kids" face.
“Our Kids: The American Dream in Crisisâ€, https://www.amazon.com/Our-Kids-American-Dream-Crisis/dp/1476769907, is Robert Putnam’s latest book and addresses our current crisis in public education. Better said, he takes a thorough look at the crisis of the widening gap in American classes with the defining characteristic being education.Putnam’s book is well written with many anecdotes balanced by a thorough statistical analysis. The stories are relevant, interesting and impeccably documented with a 100 pages of notes and index. It is not an easy read and sent me scrambling for Google several times. It is written like a college text book but the message is bigger than a sociology or economics class. Like his best seller, “Bowling Aloneâ€, this is a warning for our times and a call to action. We must rely less on the re-distribution of wealth and more on the re-distribution of opportunities. Education, higher and higher quality education are the most fertile fields for these opportunities.I love the data, graphs and scissor charts. If you don’t, this is still an important read and worth the effort. The personal interviews and childhood stories are important, engaging, and make a forceful case for action without all number crunching. If you were to cheat and go to the end, Chapter 6, “What is to be done†gives a 45 page synopsis with sharp and practical conclusions directly from the data.I read “Our Kids†through the eyes of the pastor. This is not a church-book but the faith community, especially the Christian Church, needs to take its message seriously. The schools especially the public schools, need full community support with informal mentoring, high quality extra curricular activities for the disconnected, community college support, paperwork coaching, resources for those in subsidized housing and a thousand other ways to close the opportunity gaps. The missing piece? Relationships-you and I have these.Read this book. Find your place in the community and take action. You’ll be better for it and so will your community.
If you've been wondering why kids today seem to achieve less than their parents, then this is the book to read. If you're rich and don't care, then maybe it's not, but if the inequities of life DO concern you, then this will show the dirty underbelly of American disadvantage that has been steadily gaining ground over the past generation.We can all watch the poor decisions made by parents of at-risk children, but this will take you into the inner workings of why the middle and lower classes are faltering and floundering and what can be done about it. Because, as the book correctly states, the greater the inequality that is permitted, the more violent, dangerous and uninhabitable our society becomes.
