Very comprehensive book

I was sure what to expect from this book mainly because the author is not a professor at a highly prestigious university . But Rothman has written a trully great book . It offers all info regarding the school reform and which are the educational opportunities of the future . I recommend it to anyone that has an interest in school reform , standards and alternative assessment .
