内容説明

Disintegrating families and neighborhoods, mediocre schools, low expectations -- children today face a daunting array of obstacles on the path to adulthood. Youth charters -- a clear set of guidelines for academic excellence and proper moral behavior that are established and supported by the entire community -- were created in response to an overwhelming need William Damon encountered as he lectured around the country. Damon, who has developed numerous community youth charters over the years, draws on the proven track record of those in both affluent and impoverished areas, and in this revolutionary book he explains how to develop and implement a youth charter and how to combat negative media and other external influences that undermine it. He convincingly demonstrates why conventional, stand-alone programs -- including antidrug and safe-sex campaigns -- don't work, and why an integrated and consistent approach is essential to bringing about real change.
