While this book is a bit dated (2010), I think it was an interesting critique on the American school system that grew up in a.k.a. the one that measured our success based on reading and math test scores without any focus on other subjects or the arts. I think there was a valuable critique of the Gates Foundation, as well as the notion that schools be run as a business. I gained so much knowledge from this book, and it definitely will benefit any future advocacy I do when it comes to education reform.
