Some Children Left Behind advances the belief that schools must change their focus in order to achieve desired results. When educators focus on teaching a work ethic, they act upon the central truth that acquiring an education requires effort by the learner, a concept that should be a game changer in school reform. Understanding that education cannot be done to students, nor can it be done for them, schools must be encouraged to teach that success is a product of hard work, both in school and in life. Some Children Left Behind should be required reading for all school board members and school superintendents. This book offers a clear alternative for school leaders who believe that schools can get desired results by getting better at executing the same old tired strategies. Teaching a work ethic to students allows student success without an infusion of new money or changes in education regulations.
