Review Quote

“A grand example of humanitarianism in the classroom: Naysayers who believe there’s no hope for America’s inner-city schools haven’t met Feinberg and Levin.”
Kirkus

“A vivid account of two young men who transform themselves from ‘terrible’ first-year teachers into visionaries.”
USA Today

“J. Paul Boehmer captures both the fiery idealism and initial naïveté in the voices of the two protagonists as they parlay their postcollege Teach for America stint in inner-city Houston into a bold national experiment in classroom instruction and school governance.”
Publishers Weekly
