Just the title sounds bleak. Oh my. Do we really have forty-five thousand failing public schools? Impossible task, really, isn't it?

Or so it can seem. And when it feels impossible, teachers seek out inspiration, inspiration like the kind found in this book by Ron Berler about a school where administrators and teachers work to bring out the best in children and improve the school, not with new programs and new instructors, but by using the best of what works.

Read this book, teachers, and you can face another day in the trenches.
