With depth and focus, Jeff Hobbs looks over the shoulders and reflects the times of young men in Loss Angeles as they navigate their final year of school and open the doors beyond to the whole world. What is school to a child/young man from Compton, from Beverly Hills, from the life of a Dreamer,from a "slacker".
This was a great sociology book and Hobbs did his homework. But I wished that he'd spent less time on the history of the SATs and the response of Governor Pat Brown to the collapse of the house of cards that was the California Public School System than he did. Education history is a whole different book. As observational sociology this is a great book, but there are 2 books here. I was glad to see the epilogue and now wonder what's going on with these men. 4/5
