There have always been innumerable opinions and incessant commentary about the problems with public education. Unfortunately, few of these focus on the real culprits. Most problems come from the homes and are sent to the schools. Educators do not creat them. In the mid 1980's, another scourge appeared on the scene in the embodiment of the drug culture, crack cocaine. This new drug destroyed lives and ruined families. It robbed the users of what money they had and took their health and ruined their sense of responsibility. They had their babies and they sent them to school. Dr. Reynolds has written a powerful, true life saga, based upon actual experiences he had as a principal in public schools. The names and places have been changed, but the events were real. To say this story is "shocking" or "unbelievable" is an understatement. Sin City is a window into some of the basic problems facing public school educators. At the same time, Dr. Reynolds has skillfully built in intrigue, humor, irony and pathos as these emotions relate to his story. It is an interesting, awesome, and riveting read. Don't miss it!
