This book is needed because of the shocking disconnect between what early childhood educators know and what they do. The early childhood community from the top down needs to quit pretending they are providing wonderfully individualized developmentally appropriate classrooms and begin to fundamentally change the way they teach children.

This edgy topic pushes the thinking of what needs to happen in early childhood education—policies must change first before classroom practices can (such as the emphasis on routine, the teaching of narrow skills, and the tedious repetitive questioning about the same basic facts like color, shape, number, letter, etc)..

It's an important addition to the discussion on closing the achievement gap.

The author manages to tell a very complex story about public policy and the importance of teaching while entertaining and engaging the reader throughout.
