Review # 1 was written on 2014-06-03 00:00:00 Oren Johnson This was like reading someone's senior thesis. The only thing I got out of it was ways to deal with bullying after the fact. 1. Make the bully give a speech to a younger kids about why bullying is bad. 2. When you have an intervention meeting between the bully and the bullied kid, only point out that the behavior was wrong, not the person.

Review # 2 was written on 2016-09-29 00:00:00 Matthew Davis So, it read like a textbook. But it wasn't too bad, because I was actually interested in what they had to say. I skipped around a lot, and sometimes skimmed entire pages in minutes, but I got the gist of the book. Education is a humane enterprise, not a factory to produce the same product over and over again. In order to create successful schools, we need to take the focus off of national standardized, high-stakes testing and keep accountability local. There are lots of ideas in there for school improvement, each which probably deserves its own book. A must-read for legislators, although they wouldn't spend the time on it.
