"Collateral Damage" delivers a healthy dose of hard truth. It
should be required reading for policymakers and concerned citizens.
Jeannie Oakes, Presidential Professor and Director, UCLA Institute
for Democracy, Education, and Acces"
Nichols and Berliner provide a carefully reasoned analysis laced
with frightening accounts drawn from public schools. This readable
volume eviscerates the premise that our schools can be evaluated
with a single indicator. If you care about public schooling, this
book is essential. W. James Popham, Professor Emeritus, UCLA"
Nichols and Berliner provide a hard-hitting and thoughtful critique
of today s overreliance on high-stakes testing. This is a must-read
for anyone concerned about the unintended consequences of education
reform. Paul D. Houston, Executive Director, American Association
of School Administrators"
The cumulative impact of the accounts Nichols and Berliner lay out
before us is staggering. They punch it home: The moral impact of
NCLB may be as dangerous as its educational effects. Deborah Meier,
Senior Scholar, New York University"
