If you're looking for another book that praises the educational system, this is not it. It's an honest reflection of a system that is more concerned with handing out diplomas than it is with helping students prepare for a post-secondary life. The public is being hornswaggled with sexy numbers and a false sense of achievement by the RADs and Das-Datas out there (see book for details) who don't think we're smart enough to ask how the proverbial sausage is made, and the jungle-gym has now become The Jungle. No Diploma Left Behind offers an antithetical perspective to the public education system that everything is awesome and is only getting better. The book offers insight as to the acts of manipulation that school districts will employ to keep their graduation rates at an all time high, while not disclosing how those rates are achieved.
