Summary
From America's "most prominent school reformer" (LOS ANGELES TIMES) comes a stirring personal meditation on what works-and what doesn't-in our high schools today. Revisiting America's classrooms, Sizer assesses the changes over the past decade and a half - from school choice to interdisciplinary learning - that give us reason to be hopeful. Tracy Kidder has called this"an eloquent book."
First line
GIVEN ALL the controversy over the past two decades about the effectiveness of American high schools, I have wondered just what has changed as a result of all the public and political concern.
