After more than fifty years in Canadian classrooms as a teacher, superintendent, professor, and founder of my own academy. I wrote Restoring Trust In Education because I’ve watched a system I love drift away from what it was meant to be: forming minds and character, not managing appearances or handing out credentials that promise more than they deliver. This isn’t a book of complaint but of recovery, and its final chapters lay out what real renewal would ask of us a stronger Education Act, a rebuilt profession, and a return to the daily work of teaching, classwork, homework, and assessment. It ends where my own story does, with the founding of La Citadelle International Academy my attempt to live out, in practice, the convictions this book defends. I wrote it for teachers who haven’t given up, for parents who sense something is wrong, and for anyone who still believes schools can be what they were meant to be.
