Eye opening book - you owe it to every child in America to read

One of the most interesting books I've read in a long time. Ripley does a great job of mixing data, her experience and her foreign exchange students to make this a page turner.

An important book for American students, teachers, parents, educators and policy-makers. What remains to be seen is that after individuals from each of these groups reads ‘What Makes Kids Smart...’ will anything change.
