Sometimes, there is such a glaring need for a book to have been written, as soon as you read the first page, an epiphany happens. Christian, Koett, and Potter have filled a void here so desperately needing more attention. The three have hit a homerun! For parents, P-12 and higher education teachers, and administrators, simply read this book. You most likely know someone whose future in schooling is hanging by a thread right now, and you are the lifeline.
