Summary: Out-of-date and slightly tedious but still informative
Comment: Wood's book explores innovative teaching ideas in the public school system. A good read for any parent, teacher, administrator, or student interested in how a good school system should work. The book includes profiles of rural, suburban, and inner city high schools and elementary schools that went from being some of the worst in the state to having nearly 100% graduation rates through innovative programs. However, the book does seem slightly out-dated and some of the programs that seemed "innovative" in 1986 may not be so today. The reading at time can be slightly boring but it is still an informative book. I also rec. "Fiske's Smart Kids, Smart Schools".
