Synopsis
The author writes about the success story of the school she founded in East Harlem from which 90 percent of the students graduate and go on to college. Meier shares her thoughts on why public education is vital to the future of America and its kids. She argues for radical innovation and is a proponent of breaking up huge schools into small schools, and an ideal of being "well-educated" that is not rooted in academics.

Industry Reviews
"The founder and principal of excellent small schools in East Harlem...Ms. Meier wants to make all students capable of participating in and sustaining a democracy....Doubters must read Deborah Meier to take a look at that success up close, to watch it begin and grow and flourish."
New York Times Book Review - Lorene Cary

"The best bits are when she describes the nuts and bolts of her reforms: smaller classes and schools, choice and school autonomy, in which teachers and principals get to design their own curricula....Unlike so many commentators...[Meier] isn't essentially ideological. Her views are grounded in everyday realities.
New Republic - Sara Mosle

"A stirring manifesto for democratic, public education--hurled into the teeth of the times...The fate of public education today depends on whether we listen to...the Deborah Meiers of the land."
Nation - Joseph Featherstone

"One of America's true heroes...I really feel that anyone who cares at all about education should read ['The Power of Their Ideas']."
Publisher's Catalog - Tracy Kidder

"One of the best-known and most celebrated educators in the country."
Capote
