Recenzii
This book is appropriately titled. Dr. Yisrael tells it like it is without watering it down. This is one of the poignant books about urban school reform that I've ever read.
In this book, Dr. Yisrael really tells the hard truth about urban education. He vividly discusses issues affecting schools that others are afraid to say.
Finally, a book that reveals how the politics of education often get in the way of a principal's ability to lead a school out of failure. Bravo to Dr. Yisrael.
This book is a must read for any school administrator working in a tough school setting.
