[David Barney · Rating 4 out of 5]

Interesting insights into a number of teacher education programs throughout the country. There philosophies were all pretty different. Some of the emphasis were pretty screwed up.

[Staci · Rating 5 out of 5]

Excellent book about teacher education or lack thereof. Anyone in education or interested in education should read this - it will make you laugh so that you don't cry.

[Jesse · Rating 5 out of 5]

Reveals how biased and agenda-driven education schools have become over the past 30 years.
