Title: history for a teacher
Review: I did not read the book as I bought it for a first year secondary school history teacher. He reports that it is an excellent addition to his library and will be used along with the standard state approved U.S. history text. The stupid standardized texts that have to be taught from to prepare students for standardized tests leave little room for a teacher to get students to think outside that one book, but the suggested discussion topics and test questions sprinkled throughout the Howard Zinn book may help him do more than teach only for a good score on one standardized test. With "one size fits all" we have gotten our education programs into one hell of a big mess. but that should not come as a surprise to anyone.
