Walter
Gill’s
"Dr.
Gill’s
book
is a
must
read
for
public
school
educators.
He
identifies
educational
obstacles,
challenges
us
to
rethink
our
strategies,
and
offers
interesting
interventions
to
affect
positive
change
for
young
people.
I
particularly
appreciate
his
emphasis
on
the
need
to
teach
children
how
to
become
good
parents."

are
forced
to
begin
to
understand
what
it
takes
to
educate
all
children.
This
book
is a
wonderful
compilation
of
thoughts
and
ideas
and
a
must
read
for
all
persons
who
understand
that
what
we
do
with
our
youth
today
will
impact
all
of
our
lives
for
many
years
to
come."

"Dr.
Gill’s
teaching
style
is
amazing.
It
was
a
great
experience
being
taught
and
seeing
how
he
teaches.
His
style
is
fit
for
every
student.
No
matter
who
was
in
his
class
or
how
they
were
feeling,
they
always
left
the
class
happy.
I
will
always
thank
him
for
his
help
and
encouragement."

"In
perusing
this
book,
I
can
only
say
the
timing
is
right.
There
is a
great
need
to
prepare
this
generation
for
the
reality
of
the
real
world
that
we
live
in
and
not
just
the
one
we
may
dream
one
day
will
come
to
be."
Joseph

“This book… will shake
loose
the
weakest
links
in
the
chain
to
truth
in
urban
education
and
expose
us to reality and the response to reality.”

“(Dr. Gill) combines the
intellectual
heritage
of a
historian
and
social
scientist…with
common
sense
practicality
of a
reformer…”
