Good read for teachers and non-teachers alike
Want to understand the political landscape of teaching in public schools today? This book explains it in layman's terms. My only quibble was with some minor generalizations with specific state policies that weren't quite accurate in all cases (for example, the statement that school districts or the state helps pay for teachers to get their master's degree when required; I know very few states where this is true). However, I wish every person not in the classroom would read this as a primer on the minefield that is teaching today.
