Review # 1 was written on 2008-07-14 00:00:00 Steven Maizes Stern knows his material firsthand as a parent, and then again as an investigative journalist. It would be challenging to tell this story more effectively. He cites clear examples, and he successfully counters tired arguments opposing his position that school choice directly benefits those who exercise it and indirectly those who remain in the otherwise unchallenged public system. His examples demonstrate repeatedly that systems with less overheard, fewer dollars per pupil, and fewer credentialed teachers trump the establishment by having mutual respect and by rewarding merit (tangibly and through the success of students).

Review # 2 was written on 2010-08-18 00:00:00 Brandon Laird This book displays the very worst of the teachers unions in NYC, and its written by a man who describes himself as a supporter of public education and a liberal!
