Sinopse
The pressure to succeed in our nation's most competitive public high schools is often crushing. Striving to understand this insular world, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Edward Humes spent a year at California's Whitney High, a school so renowned that parents move across town-and across the world-hoping to enroll their children. That's because schools like Whitney deliver everything parents want: love of learning, a sense of mission, and SAT scores that pave the way to elite universities. Attending such a school, of course, carries its own toll: High-achieving, pressured kids survive on espresso and four hours' sleep a night, falling into despair if they get a B. Lively, personal, and very readable, School of Dreams uncovers what works-and what doesn't-at this model high school, offering parents, students, and teachers some powerful messages about public education today.

We ship USPS media mail in the United States. Our default shipping service for Priority shipping and International shipping is USPS. Priority and International rates are more. We do use UPS or Fed-ex on some occasions or upon request at additional charge.
International shipping times may take longer than expected due to customs, weather or the destination country mail service. See our shipping matrix for any questions about rates and shipping time estimates.
International customers are responsible for paying any taxes or import duties that are owed as we do not pay duties for items, nor are they added to your shipping costs.

When multi-volume sets, exceptionally large or heavy books are ordered additional shipping charges may be assessed.
We are very sorry for any inconvience, but due to fraud concerns we do not accept checks, cash, money orders or E-checks.

Sobre Never Enough Stuff
We are a family run business that started in 2001. Our love for books started from being part of a larger family of teachers and a small volume educational publisher - my father-in-law. We were introduced to the business of book selling through the same strong family ties and we mentored with a longtime family bookseller before going out on our own. Our business is run honestly with the primary focus being customer satisfaction and service.If you have any questions or are looking for a specific book please ask.
