i worked with a school in the south bronx in new york, an elementary school, with a principle that called me up to invite me to see the school. it was built in 1955. i saw an anteroom that should be library. i helped her raise the money and she was resourceful. that rule now is filled with computers and electronic books and other kinds of books. she keeps it open until 7:00 at night as a community center for single parents who come home from work and go there with their children and learn together. a lot of teachers are volunteering to stay afterwards. it is the kind of enterprise that will be the saving grace of public education in the country. i have many other examples in the book. i encourage you to buy it and read them.
