Jess Calarco is my hero. I started this book as soon as I opened it and haven’t been able to put it down. So proud to be a member of the same discipline as scholars like her.
Highly recommend Jess Calarco's new book! I love how approachable and well-written this book is. Would be an awesome book for class, or even for a book club. Jess' passion clearly comes across, the message is clear, and the issue at the heart of the book is vitally important.

Public schools, as always, are the battleground for culture warring. This dominates Oklahoma public education. And kids always pay the heaviest price.
Grateful for new books coming out by Mike Hixenbaugh & Josh Cowen. Please drop some more in the comments.
“Relying on women to hold it together maintains the illusion of a DIY Society--it makes it seem as though the US can get by without a decent social safety net.” - Jess Calarco
