"Torin Finser's School As a Journey is an inspiring account of one teachers odyssey. Along the way, he reveals the secrets of good education in any setting: effective partnership with parents, a strong sense of collegiality among the staff, and -- above all -- the presence of dedicated teachers who are motivated by a sincere love and respect for their students." -- Ernest Boyer, President, Carnegie Foundation
