Roots and Wings and Other Things
Roots and Wings and Other Things is a serio-comic journey in story form inside the
over-caffeinated mind of a Superintendent as he ponders the meaning and
motivations behind school reform initiatives; the missing ingredient in school reform;
the impact a core group of educators had on a student; what he believes are the two
guiding principles of public education; and why pubic education and educators are
the key to sustained evolutionary change.
