I liked it as well as I like most books on educational theory, which is to say: it's useful to a certain extent. I will say, though, that the first chapter was absurdly simplistic. It basically walked a new teacher onto the job by reminding him/her to ask questions like, "Where will I eat my lunch?" You know, I think most of us could probably figure out how to start a new job, whether it was in a school building or not.

It wasn't as annoying, oversimplified, idealistic, or absurd as some educational books are, though, which is definitely a plus.

I read most or all of this for one if my teaching classes. The book gives a general overview if secondary education in the United States. Any well-versed secondary-level educator should be knowledgeable of this material.
