Rezensionen
"Heischman's seasoned perspective helps him articulate the challenges these schools face in their attempt to give a young person a place and voice in a small universe, but his perspective also allows him to see the larger social universe to which schools belong." Matthew W. Geiger, former faculty member, St. Stephen's and St. Agnes School (VA)
