This book should be read by every adult American, especially parents of school-aged children, and all those concerned about the reality of public education in the United States. It is a concise, quick and compelling read. Because of her unique perspectives from both inside and outside the classroom, Mrs. Hayden offers a very poignant and insightful comment on the American public education system, inspired by her disagreements with the conclusions drawn by Hillary Rodham Clinton in her own book, "It Takes A Village: And Other Lessons Children Teach Us". In fact, Mrs. Hayden emphatically demonstrates that Mrs. Clinton's "village" is, and may have always been, non-existent. She asserts that we are all "waiting for Superman", and that we wait to the detriment of our children, our future and the very fabric of our nation.
