Summary	Rejecting mass protests, more laws or bureaucracy, privatization, a national curriculum, and test results, proposes an approach to school reform that recognizes and rewards great teachers and schools, passes their achievement to schools that are in trouble, and evaluates schools through their curriculum and actual teaching rather than universal indirect criteria. For parents, educators, policy-makers, and others who care. No index. c. Book News Inc.
