“‘The Good School: How Smart Parents Get Their Kids the Education They Deserve,'” by Peg Tyre

September 23, 2011

Guess what? Good teachers matter, experts say. That’s the not-especially-startling conclusion of this book. Tyre does offer parents support and some good tips on what to look for in our kids’ schools. I found the book frustrating and not detailed enough, though, as I explain in this review for The Washington Post.
