I believe this book is a timely manuscript that will be of benefit to teachers and other professionals in the educational field. I see it as a weekly workbook. There are many exciting things about this book. First and foremost is the organization. I've broken down complex issues into individually achievable tasks. Secons, I've stated a specific problem, then offer answers based on personal testimony, experience, and a sensitive respect or understanding of young people. As you read each chapter, you will feel that the lessons offer often go far beyond teaching . . . many can be applied to life in general. This book may not change your life but it will elevate your teaching abilities but more importantly improve your students ability to learn and understand better than ever before.

A must read for teachers of mathematics! The perrennial question, "When will I ever use this stuff," prompts a parent to look deeply into his son's math program. In his search for the scope and meaning of "stuff," he finds that the subject of math is totally unlike any other high school subject. Also apparent is that promoted reforms whether politically motivated, profit driven, or theoretically rooted in educational psychology, good or bad, generally have a poor long term success rate. The semi-fictional, often-humorous style of "Math Stuff" provides a multi-dimensional view of the diverse elements of reform that, to be effective, must be jointly addressed. Taking a cue from a good math teacher, the book does not give the answers but rather suggests what to think about while determining them.

By Waverly High Students and their teacher, Philip Ross
When students leave the classroom, interesting things can happen, especially when they write. These sophomores from Waverly High venture out of their comfort zones in rural eastern Nebraska and do a kind of multi-genre research project by interviewing people, learning about various businesses, and researching native species, local events, and write even a little bit of poetry when they look at the landscape. The results are enjoyable and interesting.

"I'm 90 years old. I want to leave behind a legacy of hope. I want to bring radical change in the curriculum and in the way schools are organized. I want to revitalize teacher education to elevate the profession's status and to bring greater financial rewards for teachers. Finally, I believe it is essential to promote democracy within the schools and within the classroom."

In 1974, the Board of Education in Kanawha County West Virginia introduced a set of new textbooks into the standard curriculum. These textbooks contained offensive language, compared Bible stories to well-known myths and fables, and also, in the opinion of some citizens, lacked the basic ideals of right and wrong. War in Kanawha County: School Textbook Protest in West Virginia in 1974, written by local–businessman-turned-activist Donald Means, details the most important incidents surrounding the protest of the controversial textbooks in Kanawha County. This was not a war fought by armies, but by families—families adamant that their children not be subjected to such offensive materials. The controversies surrounding this war pitted conservatives against liberals in a way the nation had not experienced since the days of the Boston Tea Party. This conflict caught the interest of people across the country, and even those in foreign countries. Though the war has long since ended in Kanawha County, the controversial curriculum continues to cause conflict across the country today.

The Comprehensive College details with the challenges a President of an urban college faced during the last decades of the twentieth century. A highly diverse student population in cultural and educational background, in age, in aspiration and goals, and in levels of basic academic skills has brought onto the American college campus many of the social problems that beset a pluralistic society. Racial and ethnic tensions, and a heightened gender consciousness, for example, have altered the college curriculum and impacted college life and activities. The introduction of policies, such as affirmative action, and of new academic programs in remedial skills and ethnic and gender studies has embroiled higher education in social, political and legal controversies.
