Title: Why Crystal has no business talking about business
Product review: This book was an extreme disappoointment. What other reviews call 'facts' are mostly just anecdotes from England's experience. I guess what really bothers me about this book is that although she understands and is passionate about education, she knows little to nothing about business. Her examples of 'corporations' and 'big business' only reveal that fact. She doesn't even acknowledge the existence of the difference between 'product-based' business and 'service-based' business, two sectors most kids do learn about in grade school. The difference between the two offer great insights into what the organizations in education and business may be able to learn from each other. I am sure there is a great, fact-based argument on why business models do not work well in education, but it IS NOT found in this book. She is lucky to get one star.
