Ugh.  This book is trying to use a shiny cover and bright graphics to pretend it has something to say.  With only a sentence or two per page, it speaks in very broad generalities, often being presumptuous about describing schools today in ways that aren’t necessarily true about all schools, and much of what they state about schools in the past still applies at many schools today.  The only thing this book is really good for is as the example to use when teaching students to be critical readers recognizing over-generalized statements.
