    About this ebook

    Millions of children are not fulfilling their God-given potential in many of our nation's classrooms. Their potential and purpose is being left on the floor of classrooms in many low-income communities. What may God have called them to do? How is a substandard education prohibiting them from accomplishing that purpose? In what ways are Christians and churches accountable for that? How are we our brother and sister's keeper with respect to a quality education?


    Join Nicole Baker Fulgham, formerly on the national staff of Teach for America and the founder of The Expectations Project, as she explores what our role is in solving the nation's crisis for public education. This Barna Frame explores a critical topic of our time - schools in crisis.

      WHY YOU NEED FRAMES

      These days, you probably find yourself with less time than ever.

      Everything seems like it’s moving at a faster pace — ​except your ability to keep up.

      Somehow, you are weighed down with more obligations than you have ever had before.

      Life feels more complicated. More complex.

      If you’re like most people, you probably have lots of questions about how to live a life that matters. You feel as though you have more to learn than can possibly be learned. But with smaller chunks of time and more sources of information than ever before, where can you turn for real insight and livable wisdom?

      Barna Group has produced this series to examine the complicated issues of life and to help you live more meaningfully. We call it FRAMES — ​like a good set of eyeglasses that help you see the world more clearly . . . or a work of art perfectly hung that invites you to look more closely . . . or a building’s skeleton, the part that is most essential to its structure.

      The FRAMES Season 1 collection provides thoughtful and concise, data-driven and visually appealing insights for anyone who wants a more faith-driven and fulfilling life. In each FRAME we couple new cultural analysis from our team at Barna with an essay from leading voices in the field, providing information and ideas for you to digest in a more easily consumed number of words.

      After all, it’s a fast-paced world, full of words and images vying for your attention. Most of us have a number of half-read or read someday books on our shelves. But each FRAME aims to give you the essential information and real-life application behind one of today’s most crucial trends in less than one-quarter the length of most books. These are big ideas in small books — ​designed so you truly can read less but know more. And the infographics and ideas in this FRAME are intended for share-ability. So read it, then find someone to frame with these ideas, and keep the conversation going (see Share This Frame on page 84).

      Furthermore, each FRAME brings a distinctly Christian point of view to today’s trends. In times of uncertainty, people look for guides. And we believe the Christian community is trying to make sense of the dramatic social changes happening around us.

      Over the past thirty years, Barna Group has built a reputation as a trusted analyst of religion and culture. We offer cultural discernment for the Christian community by thoughtful analysts who care enough to tell the truth about what’s really happening in today’s society.

      So sit back, but not for long. With FRAMES we invite you to read less and know more.
