Paul Whittenburg, a teacher for thirty-eight years, shares his thoughts on the outlook and attitude of today’s youth compared to when he was growing up in the fifties. By emphasizing the importance of religion in school and the family unit, Whittenburg states his claim that the “old school” way of doing things is vastly superior to the ways of the twenty-first century. He provides his own insight on how these issues can be fixed, as well as personal anecdotes to paint visual images of the ideas and concepts discussed in the book.
