Summary: P.T.A.'s need to read this bookfor a reality check
Review: A great book. that needs to be read by every parent and politician. Realistic overview of a public school .in this day and time. What will happen in the future? We need to do something about the lack of respect for teachers and schools.Humorous approach to a serious situation.

Summary: A "wake-up call" for educators
Review: As a person who has spent 35 years in education, I found Ms. Edwards book to be a straightforward, knowledgeable treatise on both the successes and the failures in education. I share her belief that money alone is not the key to better education. Let's try better administrators; real (not fake) emphasis on academics, giving teachers time to teach and an environment in which this can be done; strong parenting so students come to school motivated to learning. This book should be read by ALL educators.

Review: I wish every legislator, each state's educational commissioner, each governor, each superintendent, each principal ( and Oprah) would read this book. This book tells what the real world of a teacher is and more importantly, it addresses what changes could and should be made.
