Abstract	Support for American public schools is ebbing at a time when it is needed most. This booklet outlines ways in which educators can counteract the criticisms leveled at public education and communicate its successes. It examines and presents data to refute the following charges: (1) SAT scores are falling; (2) students are taking too many "dumbed down" courses; (3) too many students drop out of school; (4) American public schools are not a good financial investment; (5) public schools fail to prepare students for the work force; and (6) businesses spend a great deal of money providing remedial education to employees. School leaders are recommended to get the facts, spread the word, disseminate stories of students' successes to the local news media, use every opportunity to talk about improving student achievement, and let students do the talking. Six figures are included. (Contains 15 references.) (LMI)
