Review # 1 was written on 2016-10-16 00:00:00 Joseph Penski This would have made a better journal article than a book. Lots of filler and copious amounts about her personal experience with her son in a (probably expensive - atypical) private school. The author does have lots of experience. The number of actual ideas put forward is minimal given the length of the book.

Review # 2 was written on 2009-02-11 00:00:00 Troy Wheeler I really liked the specifics on Hale's son's experience in a white-majority private school. Her recommendation of Waldorf as a good fit for active black boys was part of what pushed me in that direction. She also got me researching passive racism in education, which was useful.
