PRAISE FOR THE $100,000 TEACHER

Publishers Weekly

"There are some important ideas here... and a strong argument for awarding teachers good ones the status they deserve. "  


book list

"This is a thought-provoking look at public education."


library journal

"His argument is provocative and deserves consideration."


THE ROCHESTER TEACHER

"This is the book that every teacher wants to write... Here are sound and well-researched ideas for teacher preparation, ... licensing thresholds, rubrics for evaluation, professional salaries, and career ladders."


OHIO TIMES LEADER

“If his plan ever became the law of the land, he would be declared a national hero by his peers, but would be public enemy number one for school boards.”


HIGH SCHOOL TEACHER

"Thank you for writing such a wonderful, truthful, and inspiring book... I have heard myself expressing the exact same things you have written in your book to fellow teachers... Keep up the good work and remember that your message will be spread by teachers like me."


PRAISE FOR SMART KIDS, BAD SCHOOLS

RALPH NADER

“In this fast moving shake ’em up book, public school teacher Brian Crosby manages to enlighten, infuriate, stimulate, irritate and maybe energize readers who want to do the right things for our children but have never given themselves the time to think about how it can be done down at the old school house. He gives committed readers plenty of chores, chances and choices to make a comprehensive difference. If Crosby makes you angry or horrified, he’ll at least make you think and that trait is always a good precedent for action.”


BEN WATTENBERG

“Brian Crosby knows how vital it is that our kids get well-educated. Lots of people know that. But Crosby tells us what to do about it in a book that is at once cogent, readable, and provocative.”


publishers weekly

"Crosby speaks from a world of experience; his 'political incorrectness' may bother some readers, but many will appreciate his honesty and his willingness to think outside the box." 


strand bookstore

"'Smart Kids, Bad Schools' is a thought-provoking look at what we can do to improve public education."


kindergarten teacher

“I couldn't put it down and it is now thoroughly highlighted with a yellow marker!  Your observations about the American school system are dead on.  It was nice to read someone who has many of the same views as I do, and a teacher at that!"
