520    "Fourth grade is ground zero in the fierce debates about 
       education reform in America. It's when kids (well, some of
       them) make the shift from "learning to read" to "reading 
       to learn," and tomes have been written about the fourth-
       grade year by educators, administrators, philosophers, and
       pundits. Now, in a fascinating and groundbreaking book, 
       Inda Schaenen adds the voices of actual fourth-grade kids 
       to the conversation.  Schaenen, a journalist turned 
       educator, spent a year traveling across the state of 
       Missouri, the geographical and spiritual center of the 
       country, visiting fourth-grade classrooms of every 
       description: public, private, urban, rural, religious, 
       charter. Getting Smart looks at how our different 
       approaches to education stack up against one another and 
       chronicles what kids at the heart of our great, democratic
       education experiment have to say about "What Makes a Good 
       Teacher" and "What Makes a Good Student," as well as what 
       they think about the Accelerated Reader programs that 
       dominate public school classrooms, high-stakes testing, 
       and the very purpose of school in the first place.  A 
       brilliant and original work at the intersection of oral 
       history, sociology, and journalism, Getting Smart offers 
       unique insight into the personal consequences of national 
       education policy. The voices of the children in Getting 
       Smart will stay with readers--parents, teachers, and 
       others--for many years to come. "--|cProvided by
