The need for "educational reform" has once again returned to our national discourse--especially in light of the Federal Education Department's current "Race to the Top" initiative. However, despite many years of federal, state and local legislative mandates and school reform initiatives, remarkably few substantive changes have occurred within the standard public school classroom. Classes of 25 students, seated at desks, in rows, in rooms that are often too small, under the direction of an individual teacher contine to be the norm. The time for an honest re-examination of failed "outside-in/top down" educational reform policies is beyond urgent. Hank Warren is passionate about the "calling" of teaching. "It Simply Must Be Said" focuses on the issues facing education from the perspictive of an active public school teacher via a collection of observations, experiences, stories, and recommendations from 34 years in teaching. Throughout the book Hank addresses serious concerns with humor and relevant tales of actual events.
