- The Fourth Letter: Sixteen Steps Backward; 1999
- Description
- James A. Huston explains that the fourth letter in SPHEX is E for Education. He then proceeds to discuss sixteen mistakes (see Keywords) in beliefs, rules and practices that have weakened education in the United States. Huston believes these mistaken policies have put us behind many other countries and in many cases have endangered our school children. Huston suggests that we move away from the current “faddism” in education.
