    <body><![CDATA[I had high hopes for this book because the premise is a verification of what I experience daily as a high school teacher. Students, and teachers for that matter, cannot seem to maintain proper attention to grasp key concepts.

Because of that it was difficult sometimes to remember what idea the author was trying to explain. <br/><br/>It's a bit of ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/32480146">more...</a>]]></body>
