An exciting breath of fresh air to the seemingly endless number of school reform books that cross my desk… In all of the discussions on school reform, which one of them places the child’s needs center stage and argues we are morally bound to tend to them, and we must do the best we can to help these children feel loved? <i>The Schoolhome</i> does, and does it with beauty and grace; I recommend it highly!
