I heard about this book in March 2016 and bought it without delay. This is one of the most important books about education currently in print. This book is timely, it speaks to important issues of policy, and of the success of the students and college system. This book and what it exposes about our educational system has been long overdue in being written and publication but since it is here now, this book is a must read. Any person that will have a student in college or high school or any student that will need to deal with algebra in college should read this book. Further, every college administration, admissions, and mathematics department should read this book so that they can honestly address the issues associated with the college mathematics requirements. This is really a book that takes on the state of education and many of the myths that have been perpetuated at great expense for decades and made the system and students less successful as a result. This book is important, well-written, and something that I think parents and educators should read to better educate themselves on our current flaws in the current system. Bravo to Hacker for taking on this issue and for having done such an excellent job in reporting on an issue that had been systematically ignored by so many people that should not be ignoring it.
