hard to read and utterly out of date, but its got really good stuff in it and I can see why the teacher uses it (2009 edition talks about how in 2007 congress is going to have to reconsider No child left behind... authors they didn't revise, they just moved things around and slapped on a new cover). As long as you're reading about the stuff that sort of timeless, this book is ok, but anytime it moves into 'of the moment' such as using VHS in the classroom and some classrooms are now equipped with laser-disks (in the 2010 edition) you're going to giggle.
