"Why School?" by Mike Rose

I am extremely excited to read this novel by Mike Rose. One reason is because I am an Elementary Education major. Any articles or books that have to do with the education system interest me. I think that having some background in the education system is important when you are getting ready to enter the education career. Based on book reviews I have read about "Why School?", I am dying to start getting into it. This book seems like it is something that would be interesting to a lot of different groups of people. Knowing about the education system is important when you are a parent as well. Schools tend to surprise parents with new and upcoming lessons that may not necessarily be what the parent was expecting. This book is looking at one of the most important things in America, that we tend to ignore and look past. Education is something that everyone needs to become successful, so I feel like this book is going to be insightful on the reasons why we need school and an improved education system.
