After years of public demand to Do Something! that only made matters worse, it may seem as if America can't get it right.¿BULL! claims the author of Listen Up, America!¿America can provide schools to be proud of, if we just start asking the right questions. Dionee guarantees to raise those questions!¿Provoking you, her fellow Americans, to act, get involved, and provide the answers.¿And to assist you, she provides a study guide, "Reading to Drive Awaythe Night," at the end of each chapter.
