Customer Reviews

Quick and in the right condition.

I received this book within a week of ordering. It looked like new when it came, along with the cd and myeducationlab. Just what I needed for my education class!

Will use again

Book arrived in a timely manner. Got money worth and made a profit during buy back period. To bad that I never used the book in class. Will use seller again.

Class Book

We used this book in my alternative certification class, and while we didn't finish it, there is some very good examples and information contained within. I do think I will continue reading for my own benefit, even though class is finished.

wonderful condition

The book was what I had ordered and the condition of the book was perfect. Thanks for the fast delivery.

WONDERFULLY WRITTEN TEXT BOOK! Forget the other reviews!

I completely disagree with the previous reviewers who wrote negatively about this book. From the very first page of the introduction through the end of this text book, I was so impressed at the thoroughness in covering aspects of culture in America, especially that of students in today's school system.A reviewer complained that it didn't give any solutions for solving problems in schools. First of all, this textbook presents the facts and information. A student is to take the problems that these students face and use them to find solutions. Sometiems the solutions are quite obvious. However, you must realize that giving people the solutions without explaining the reasons why first is quite dangerous and extremely ignorant. If solution book is what you are looking for, read C.M. Charles' "Building Classroom Discipline" (7th Edition).But even that book doesn't over the diverse cultures that our schools contain today. The editors/authors of this book were very inclusive in writing compiling this textbook and I highly commend them and highly recommend them to you.This book covers the different struggles that different groups encounter, their origins, the reasons why they have sustained or haven't and why it is important to acknowledge the multiculturalism in our schools. Whoever didn't "get" this book obviously didn't understand what the title meant. I question if those reviewers even read the book, much less the introduction to the text book.Kudos to Donna Gollnick and Philip Chinn on the best text book I've ever perused!
