He also discusses the effectiveness of inner-city public schools and the looming charter school movement. In this second edition, Dr. Diop chronicles his final years in education as a central office administrator and the hurdles he encountered while serving as principal of one of San Antonio's most challenging high schools. Also, he offers advice to sitting and aspiring principals who lead inner-city schools.
