Title: Useful advice on HOW to choose a middle school
Product review: Hemphill's book on public middle schools does not cover every good school in New York City, but it provides the best available compendium of what's out there and what makes individual schools distinctive. Reading it is a lot like having a long conversation with the most knowledgeable and fair-minded parent you know. When you're done, you understand what the choices really are, what big issues are challenging NYC middle schools today, and how to spot the hype that so often surrounds the most popular schools. She talked to hundreds of parents whose children actually attend schools of all sizes and all educational philosophies in all kinds of neighborhoods. Their voices ring through.
