  “This is a most enlightening piece of work ! This book highlights the overall disparities of education as it relates to black and white. For certain, it is well worth the time to read, to reflect, and to resolve to find answers! ”

  “This book will make you uncomfortable (unless you're a professional who is working or has worked in inner city schools). You should read it anyway.”

  “Please read this book. It describes my two years of teaching in public schools. I always feel if more people understood what was going on in these institutions, things would change. It's truly criminal what everyone in this country is allowing to happen to our children.”
