Sowell is Irreplaceable,
By
This review is from: Choosing a College: A Guide for Parents and Students (Paperback)
This is a precursor to the later National Review Guide, and the ISI Guide called Choosing the Right College. Sowell's book is the BEST FIRST THING for you and your kids to read as they are in 9th, 10th, or 11th grade and you are thinking about where to ship them off to. After Sowell, read NR and ISI, and you will be well-positioned to read between the lines of all the other propaganda that's out there!

5.0 out of 5 stars
Timeless, insightful advice!,
This review is from: Choosing a College: A Guide for Parents and Students (Paperback)
Dr. Sowell is a gem! His experience and intelligence make this book a necessary read for everyone wanting to see the big picture regarding college admissions. There IS a systematic way to find the BEST college for a particular student. "Choosing a College" lays groundwork for the necessary homework and personal introspection this process ultimately requires.
Every potential applicant should read this book. I would personally advise parents (who want to get both feet firmly planted on the ground before your student begins this important and expensive life-altering process) to start by reading Dr. Sowell's "Inside American Education". He reveals many painful truths regarding our educational system, which newspapers seldom print and TV stations never broadcast. |
