I don't think kids or teens need to read this book - they already deal with the fear of their school becoming Opportunity High every single day. The people who need to read this book are the law makers, superintendents, and civil servants who have committed their lives to serve and protect our society - the ones who have failed the current generation quickly coming into adulthood and the next that are still in school every day.
