If all this stuff is true, every educator and adult citizen ought to know it before they are 40.

This book really grants a new perspective on American schooling, how far we've come, and where we are now. Think educators have it made? Think schools aren't so hot? This book will open your eyes...

I have read many books about American educational history and this is so far the best: clear, easy to read and takes the reader into an interesting journey not forgetting the Native Americans and other ethnic groups.
