“This book has been long overdue. It is a great historical read of case studies involving teaching, negotiations, politics, administration, school boards, unions – just about everything that (still) goes on in schools today.

Teachers, staff, administrators, school board members – new or experienced – should read this. Parents, interested residents and politicians that are drawn into the current dialogue on K-12 education could learn a lot from this.” – Mark Kellett , School Business Official
A solutions-based book for a nation still at risk.
