This spot on work by Professor Hayes offers a thorough analysis of the views on educational reform of the politicians on both sides of the aisle. The book will help readers to better understand the complexity of issues facing our schools and colleges as they attempt reform. Equally important, it offers a plan for moving forward to improve our current programs. Anyone concerned with the future of education should consider this a must read. -- John Walker, Superintendent of Schools, North Rose-Wolcott Central School System, NY Professor Hayes clearly describes the dilemmas that school districts in this country are dealing with as a result of failing to reauthorize No Child Left Behind. As an administrator working in the area of Special Education, the new initiatives, Common Core State Standards, and standardized assessments do not take into consideration that one size does not fit all. The objectives that Professor Hayes outlines are a tall order for our government at both the federal and state level, but he does offer a way forward. Our national leadership would be well advised to read this book as it will help readers to see that educational reform is indeed possible! -- Dr. Donna M. Moscicki, Director of Special Education, Byron-Bergen Central School, NY
