Riassunto

This book is about an entrepreneur who turns an underperforming school into a nationally recognized school.

In this book Mr. Kravitz also shares his vision for what is wrong with our educational system and what steps need to be taken to change. This book is like having a conversation with an educator at a party and listening to all the stories you have always wanted to hear. It is a easy read and will make you think as to where this country needs to go to educate our next generation.
