Review Quotes

[This book] could prove enlightening to any educator considering moving into educational administration.

In Wyoming, we know a few things about rural education - the challenges, the reality, but most of all, the successes. We believe sound education policy is vital to school finance, teacher supply and performance, and school choice. This book encapsulates these ideas for easy consumption.

Rural schools are extraordinary places and often the glue of the special communities they serve. Never before have their stories been so honorably explored as they are in No Longer Forgotten: The Triumphs and Struggles of Rural Education in America. Our country will never live up to our founding ideals if we do not find a way to uplift the millions of students that trust their education to rural schools. This starts by seeing their story clearly - and that begins with this book.
