Calvin Sizemore has one school year left before he retires. One year to make a change in the lives of his students or ten months of coasting through. Making improvements in the lives of his pupils is difficult when not only do they not care but neither do their parents. For that matter, neither do most of the teachers. Is this what our education system is like? Scary thought.Ken Brimhall does an excellent job of drawing the reader into the setting of a high school in Texas. He peppers the book with Spanish phrases that give the story an authentic feel. Don't worry if you don't understand Spanish - the meaning of the phrases does become clear.I recommend this book not only to get a look inside the education system our children are immersed in but also for an entertaining interlude in your life.
