Be Honest

This is an outstanding book. Not only is it eye-opening to see how students feel about schools and education, it is encouraging to read teens express themselves so capably. It also displays the influence of 826, one of the more innovative school/community partnerships out there. A valuable look at education from students' perspectives.

In! College Admissions and Beyond

The writing style is faster paced and more humorous than in most books in the genre, which can help make a difficult and stressful process a little easier to take. An excellent guide, especially for students trying to compete at the top level for spots at Ivies or other high-end institutions, as well as their parents.

Readers interested in educational policy—parents, students, or professionals—will find Kohn's well-written essays thought-provoking, even if they do not agree with his conclusions.
