Review:

Bill Page has written a wonderfully challenging, humorous and helpful book about working with at-risk students . Providing insights into those kids who can't, won't, or don't learn, he has done what ivory tower theorists have not done provide insight and understanding into the minds, souls, hearts and cognitive structure of students who struggle and fail. --Dr. Michael Shaughnessy, Professor of Special Education, Eastern New Mexico University, in EducationNews

Bill Page, with his straightforward, engaging style, enables us to feel the predicament of students who rarely have a good day, fail to learn, and develop self-loathing with a revengeful attitude. [The author] shows how to help at-risk kids become risk-free learners. --Dr. Edward Frierson, former President, International Association of Children with Learning Disabilities

I highly recommend Bill Page because what he has to say is immediately implementable and useful for all educators. He does this in a very commonsense, humorous and user-friendly manner. --Harry K. Wong, author of the best-selling book The First Days of School
