How I Joined Teach for America and Got Sued for $20 Million tells the story of an idealistic new Yale grad who learned up close and personal just how bad inner-city schools can be, and why. It’s on the long side, but it held my interest because if things go as planned, I’ll have kids eventually. The quality of the school system will be an important factor when deciding where to live. I want to know as much as possible about why things are the way they are in order to have a chance at improving them.
