This book is incredibly realistic - anyone who tries to argue that parts of it were staged for the author's benefit hasn't spent any time in an American public school in the past fifteen years. Students like this go sleepless in HS halls every day. They have so much misplaced motivation and while I can only commend them for their accomplishments, I wish they had spent more time on themselves during the process of finding the perfect university.

I found this book very sad because it was so real. I hope we can help students break away from the grind. ( )

Book description

Amazon.com Book Description (ISBN 0300098332, Paperback)

This book offers a revealing—and troubling—view of today’s high school students and the ways they pursue high grades and success. Veteran teacher Denise Pope follows five highly regarded students through a school year and discovers that these young people believe getting ahead requires manipulating the system, scheming, lying, and cheating.
