Schools Flunk-Kids Don't: A Practical Guide for Parents, Teachers, Principals, Community Leaders, and Students Who Want to Turn Their School Around

Rating:
Summary: A great book for anyone who wants to improve their schools.
Review: I read this book about two years ago, and since that time we have worked with the author and incorporated the author's ideas on discipline, which he calls "ProActive Discipline" in our high school. It has literally made our school into a new place.The change was so dramatic that parents and community people were coming onto campus, noticing the difference, and asking us what we had done to cause such a dramatic change.He has many ideas on various aspects of school reform, all of which are different than most of what is usually pushed as school reform. His ideas are all very practical and common sence (he has actually produced results with them both as a high school principal and as a consultant). If you have the courage and desire to really reform your schools, this is a great book.
