No one is more eminently qualified with authority,
exceptional talent, intellectual courage and experience as an inner city
educator to tackle the challenges and demands placed upon urban education in
this new millennium than Dr. Jack Washington in his No Excuses: The Crises in
Urban Education in the New Millennium. He confronts the crises in America's urban
schools in an all encompassing way with no compromises, no nonsense and
"No excuses". The book is a paradigm shift from old millennium to a
new millennium that is engrossing, compelling, pragmatic, at times disturbing,
but always authentic.
This book should be required reading for everyone involved in making educational decisions at all levels of government, as well as those majoring in education in institutions of higher learning , school administrators, local boards of education, teachers at all grade levels, and parents.
Jack Washington is a gifted, perceptive writer. His book is an academic masterpiece whose time has surely come.

I thoroughly enjoyed Jack Washington'sNo Excuses: The Crises in Urban Education in the New Millennium. He moves from the "back of the bus" to the "head of the class", calling for an academic transformation in urban education by challenging black students to higher achievement levels, acade4mic rigor, creative ideas, ne attitudes and greater expectations to be competitive and to survive in the new global marketplace for the 21st century. It takes courage to write a book like this one: and Jack pulls no punches, excludes nothing a no one, makes no compromises, talks no nonsense, and accepts No Excuses. This book is enslaving , liberating, commanding, engrossing, thought-provoking, profound, challenging, pragmatic, at times disturbing, but always authentic. No Excuses is an educational masterpiece that "must-read" for everyone involved in education at any level.
