Review # 1 was written on 2012-03-01 00:00:00 Sharon Liccardo Political Science Quarterly reports, "Failing Grades will serve as an authoritative source on the ironies that characterize contemporary education policy." Teachers College Record states, "[A]fter one reads Kevin Kosar's Failing Grades: The Federal Politics of Education Standards, the truly corrosive effects of oppositional politics on education becomes shockingly clear." Education Review declares, "I found Chapters 3 through 6 to be enlightening. Being neither an historian nor a political scientist, I had heard bits and pieces of this story, but Kosar has integrated it into a whole, and the book is a worthwhile read on the strength of this material. The story wends from desegregation, through the accomplishments of James Conant Bryant (though not by name), to the previously mentioned Nation at Risk report, and on to the deepening federal involvement in public schools, culminating with the No Child Left Behind."

Review # 2 was written on 2012-01-19 00:00:00 Brandon Pugh Some useful ideas here, with relevance for primary as well as secondary teachers. Acknowledgement of the power of the "peer police" grounds the advice given in reality.
