A thoroughgoing critique of how American schools operate: they start too early, they fragment the school day . . ., they focus too much time and energy on non-educational tasks like dental health and sports . . . The fundamental question about schools today, she writes, is not so much how to raise test scores but how to clarify, exactly, 'what we value most.' --New York Times Kralovec asks a simple question, but one with complex and profound implications . . . [She] is no back-to-basics ideologue . . . but she does care about learning . . . Kralovec's succinct work should set the tone for conversations that administrators, school boards and politicians need to be having across the nation. --Publishers Weekly Without bashing administrators and teachers, Kralovec . . . demonstrates that schools end up doing too little of what matters. --Library Journal Kralovec assumes the gadfly role again by insisting that schools scale back or even eliminate activities that aren't central to their educational mission. --Teacher Magazine
