Review

"Failing Grades: How Schools Breed Frustration, Anger, and Violence, and How to Prevent It presents a profound analysis of the causes of violence and student failure in America's schools. Kaplan examines why children underachieve, drop out, withdraw, become angry, and commit violent acts. Presenting case studies from his experiences conducting workshops and mediating conflicts with students, teachers, and administrators, Kaplan focuses on interpersonal relations and demonstrates how much of the conflict and low academic achievement in schools is the result of clashes over communication, fairness, class, and race. Readers will find this book an invaluable aid in understanding how contentions arise and what simple steps can be taken to prevent or alleviate them."--Jacket
