5.0 out of 5 stars
an inspiring story, March 11, 2007
This review is from: A Kineno Remembers: From the King Ranch to the White House (Hardcover)
Dr. Cavazos' story was most inspiring and also entertaining. As he wrote of his days growing up on the King Ranch I could almost feel the dusty wind blowing in my face. His story just shows what anyone can achieve in this country. Having a great pair of parents and other role models just makes it easier. This country got where it is with the help of all the immigrants into our country and this book demonstrates a part of that.

5.0 out of 5 stars
A true educator in the Executive Branch, October 7, 2007
This review is from: A Kineno Remembers: From the King Ranch to the White House (Hardcover)
Dr. Cavazos gives us a vivid explanation of the reasons that politics gets in the way of educational reform. A man of integrity, he refused to bend to the demands of party politics. His emphasis on parental involvement, early preparation for schoolwork, and yes -- bilingual education -- have outlined a course of action we should all adopt. Cavazos is bilingual from his earliest years. While he notes the importance of the Spanish language for its cultural roots, he emphases that English is the language of our country.
I give this book my highest recommendation.
