“Bill Page has written a wonderfully challenging, humorous and helpful book about working with “at-risk students”. Providing insights into “those kids” who can’t, won’t, or don’t learn”, he has tried to do what ivory tower theorists have not done, and that is provide some insight and understanding into the minds, souls, hearts and cognitive structure of students who struggle and fail.

This is the kind of book that really, really good teachers learn from, and the kind that makes good teachers even better. This is the kind of book that principals should have in their office to hand to struggling teachers, and this is the kind of book that is truly helpful, and may I add, well written. Bill offers explanations and solutions to classroom situations with students labeled “at-risk” or who may be at-risk simply because of the school policies.”
