Bridging?
Customer Rating:
Bridging? The textbook plays devil's advocate so well that bridge should be renamed Toll-booth on a one way road to a dead end. Meets the requisite task of opening the reader's eyes to extreme cases of racialism in our public schools, but does not bridge. I found the text dry, difficult, and rambling. Case Studies of Beginning Teachers by Kowalski would be a better choice.
