    worth a read

    Content is very pertinent to education and education reform. Interesting ideas and well described committee process. Sizer¿s ideas are compelling, yet his writing style left me somewhat annoyed and I had to push through the entire book. The quality of the content was, however, enough to help me reach the end.

    Inspired To Make A Change

    Sizer's observations and accurate description of students from different backgrounds is sensitive and visual. I enjoyed the 'roaming-the-halls' writing style--not having taught yet, it enabled me to get a very real sense of a highschool classroom. The 'five imperatives for better schools' were a great idea-- perhaps feasible if incorporated gradually and in combination with the routine core curriculum.
