A review by arthur_pendrgn
Adequate Yearly Progress by Roxanna Elden

2.0

Not quite sure about this book. There's a lot of realism in this book, yet it ends up doing exactly what those movies the author criticizes do--everything works out for the best and everyone is rewarded in some way. Although I suppose the realism is supposed to elicit a rueful laugh from teachers, I'm uncertain that it does for those not experienced with this career field. It perpetuates myths about education and stereotypes of teachers that those not in the field use to attack public schools. It's been a long 18 months in education and I didn't find this as funny as the book cover promised.
