Reading Howard Good's latest book, Inside the Board Room, is an
education in itself. Humorous, provocative, touching, and
philosophical, the 20 essays in this book will open eyes to what
really goes on in the classroom and on the school board. Good draws
on his extensive experience to examine some of the hottest
educational issues including school reform, civic education, the
function of honor societies, the decline of reading and writing
skills, the role of guidance counselors, and the effectiveness of
school boards. Readers may not always agree with his perspective,
but they will always be enlightened by it. Whether writing about
the perils of standardized testing or the challenges of board
service, the author's prose is as fresh as the start of a new
school year. Inside the Board Room isn't an abstract treatise,
instead it is that rare thing among education books-quick, lively,
and down to earth. In the tone of a good friend with a sharp sense
of humor, Good shares stories of his experiences as a board member,
a teacher, and a parent. This is a book for anyone who has ever
taught, served on a school board, or simply tried to raise a
well-rounded child. Its mixture of practical advice, moral
inspiration, and wry humor will leave a lasting impression.
