NEW YORK - September 8, 2020 - (Newswire.com)

Morgan James' new release, Blank Check, A Novel: What if You Were Asked to Help Reinvent Public Schools by Aaron Smith, Ph.D., is a fictional tale grounded in reality. Smith challenges young adults to confront adversity and rise to join a generation that will step-in and re-engineer public education in America. The story evolves into what could be the reality check that public schools in America need to reshape the educational systems.

In Blank Check, A Novel, Aaron Smith, Ph.D., begins the chilling adventure of a teenager in serious jeopardy in the U.S. Virgin Islands. Smith encourages proactive thoughts on what graduates should look like after high school and how they should be prepared for a career.

Smith discusses why teachers should be given the freedom to teach and why communities should have the power the make schools the center of their communities.

He illustrates a fictional storyline that parallels many issues schools face, from a student's struggle with drugs to an educator's frustration in the classroom.

This intriguing young adult novel discusses the current state of education and its cultural impact on students. The character Josiah tests his educational theories in a place with low standards and poor student performance, demonstrating how many strategies used in public education do not work for all students. Blank Check, A Novel challenges young adults to think creatively and work to exact change in public education.

Blank Check comes with three and vital messages:

· Defeating opioid addiction

· Having the courage to stand on your beliefs

· Involving our youth in critical decisions rather than passing them over

When these elements are combined, the world will learn that change can be accomplished in our culture.

A study guide accompanies Blank Check, A Novel, where it's designed for middle and high school students to become active learners. Using both traditional and distance learning, the guide optimizes learning where it transforms students into critical thinkers. The guide was co-written by Aaron Smith and Christine Dittmyre.
