 Not so good Jan 09, 2010
The book arrived quickly however it was not in very good condition. The pages were bent and the book looked like it was used extensively. I had to fold the pages back and put them under something heavy to try and keep them flat but that only worked on a few of the pages.
 Everyone who values education should read this book. Oct 19, 2009
I had to read this book for a university class, but I am glad I did. It was written in 1991, so it definitely is due updating, but it was heartbreaking to read about how unequal public school funding was in the 1990's. We must do better for our children!

 Changes since 1950 - Cause And Effect Sep 10, 2009
Since 1950 we have had a sexual revolution, the coeducation of classes, integration of schools, a massive drug abuse rise, a divorce rate seismic shift, the removal of corporal punishment. Arguably all of these things have negatively impacted our schools (integration led to white flight and the destruction of inner city schools). While we can't turn back the clock things we should consider changing are as follows
- implement single sex class rooms, if not schools
- bring back corporal punishment
- bring back uniform codes
While we are at it perhaps we could set up a motivational state lottery system where the bottom 10% of literacy test performers are eligible for a lottery that will draw 100 names who will attend a military style 2 week boot camp. We could do the same for the most disciplinary prone problem kids.
If you really want to motivate troubled kids every state should do a lottery for high school drop outs and select 10 to be forced into the Army or whomever needs them. Talk about motivation to stay in school.
 The best book I have read in a year Aug 21, 2009
This book is somewaht like a textbook in it's approach. However it's better than any textbook I have ever read. I talked about it to many people at work and even bought another copy for a family memeber who is an educator.
I knew there were glaring disparities in the quality of education across the United States, but this book is dead-on. It will definitely open your eyes to what's going on in our educational system. It will reveal to you, in no uncertain terms, why the rich continue to get richer and the poor will get poorer. Sadly it's going to remain that way or get even worse until we do something about the funding of innercity schools.
What we are doing to the children in the poor neighborhoods is down right criminal.
Very good!!!!! Feb 07, 2009
This book is very good. Very informative and kind of a tear-jerker. It is interesting and makes you think... Great book for anyone thinking about teaching.
