This was an interesting read! It had some amazing ideas in it that my school is going to use for our new reports cards. But it also had some very unrealistic ideas in it too! Especially, the last chapter.

I was required to read this for an administrator's retreat. I must admit that I was unhappy about this... it seemed like such an academic book. Fortunately, it was a better read than I thought it would be. Points are all clearly made and provide enough information to replicate. Unfortunately, the author writes in a very repetitive style... which becomes tedious at times.

I do see it as a book that could be best used as a resource when districts are revising report cards...Unfortunately, we did this last year (before we had the Gutsky book!)
