About this title: The author writes about the success story of the school she founded in East Harlem from which 90 percent of the students graduate and go on to college. Meier shares her thoughts on why public education is vital to the future of America and its kids. She argues for radical innovation and is a proponent of breaking up huge schools into small schools, and an ideal of being "well-educated" that is not rooted in academics.
