The elephant in the classroom is no more. This conversational expose addresses the difficult truths facing our educational system. Grab a cup of coffee, sit down and be enlightened to not only the issues of education, but get an understanding of how you can help fix what is broken. -- Kelly McWilliams, administrator You will be shocked, enraged, and ready to start having difficult conversations. -- Jamie Fowler, educator Many have been waiting for a leader with the chutzpa to tackle and provide simple solutions for the troubles plaguing the American education system. Whether you are a teacher, an administrator, or a parent, you will hear the truth and your perspective addressed accurately as Cathy Tooley has personally looked through each lens. Of course, some truths might be hard to swallow, but they are truths nonetheless, and admitting they are true is the first step in the recovery. If the political wrangling stops, as Cathy suggests, and all interested parties come together for the sake of the children, the educational pendulum that is swinging dangerously out of control can be reined in with simple, logical steps for the benefit of the children-and isn't that who it's all about? -- Shellie Stoker, educator Cathy Tooley's book is the start of a movement of change that must happen in education. Her story will open your eyes to the problems in education, and make you think how you can be part of the answer. -- Wendy Myers, administrator
