This book was an insight into the way teaching should be. It is a book that all in the education field should be read. Easy to read and a pleasure to be able to learn from other educators experience

The chickens have finally come home to roost!!!! Hooray! Miss Kotch and Miss Farina have done an outstanding job for the New York City School sytem. Kudos to them. The students who were fortunate enough to learn under their programs are now old enough to take the SAT. Today, The New York Post, a periodical that has consistenly lauded their efforts, reports the following:

"But now - in the exam that serves as the standard in assessing students' readiness for college [, the SAT,] - city students aren't just falling behind, they are posting some of the worst scores in the nation."
"City averages were 55 points to 64 points behind the national average in the three standardized exams."

Thank you New York Post! You just saved me 22 dollars (plus shipping and handling), as well as the time I would have wasted sifting through the pages of a book on "School Leadership" and "Better Schools" developed by educrats who essentially played a role in the NYC school system taking a giant step backwards in the area of academic progress. Nice going ladies. Thank you New York Post, again. Today's editorial column, which is titled "Doubts on NYC's Schools Gains", should also be titled "How Not To Waste $22.00."
