Taking Sides does exactly what it says. Noll has collected 21 controversial educational topics and located essays and responses from the literature that support both sides. It is written in an easy to understand format. A great place to begin research on controversial educational topics.

This review is from: Taking Sides: Clashing Views on Controversial Educational Issues (Paperback)

Taking Sides by:Gary Soto is a hilarious and exciting book. My favorite part is when the main character puts down the coach because this reminds me of myself. I recommend that you read this book.
