Drawing on his widely read Huffington Post columns-rated one of the top educational blogs in the United States-Alan Singer introduces readers to contemporary issues in education in the United States. "Education Flashpoints provides important insight into contemporary issues in education. The critical edge to the articles will stimulate classroom discussions." Joel Spring, Queens College and the Graduate Center of the City University of New York, USA "This is a book of the moment that is both timely and (sadly) timeless-pointed, focused, engaging. Dr. Singer knows where he stands and makes no bones about it. He always contributes to the field of education and political discussion." Dennis Banks, SUNY College at Oneonta, USA
