"'These careful, thorough studies of what actually happens when the standards-and-assessment juggernaut hits the complex American comprehensive high school deserve careful pondering by the policy community. They compellingly suggest that a second, honest look at contemporary reform strategy is needed for the schools serving America's teenagers.' Theodore R. Sizer, Professor Emeritus, Brown University, USA"
