This book is a private college text, shared with the whole family, in addition to its use in the classroom. With the exception of some odd attributions to working class people (who are said to "act powerless" and view attempts at negotiations by children as 'sassing' or 'talking back'), possibly a misinterpretation of Annette Lareau's words, this working class family has enjoyed the book tremendously. The book offers the depth of insight necessary to anyone who teaches now or is planning on going into teaching.

This is a pretty good book for what its worth. I needed it for a class so its not like I had a choice to buy it. The writer has some interesting takes on things and I dont agree with everything he says. He does use a lot of charts and statistics which is helpful at times and other times just gets to be annoying. I like the book because it is not hard to understand and most of the time the writers writing flows pretty well.

This book is a very dense read, but it was required for my EDF 475 class... so I needed nonetheless. Once you get past the way the text is written, it's really not so bad.

This book helped me learn a little more about American Education and some of its "ins and outs".
I was surprised by the things I thought were true that were not. It is a great book for a student of Education (graduate students usually are required to read it at some point)

Very useful text for my graduate level course. Up-to-date information throughout the book, as well as historical aspects of education.
