When teachers Mike Feinberg and Dave Levin first created KIPP (the Knowledge Is Power Program) in Houston, little did they know it would grow to sixty-six schools in nineteen states and the District of Columbia, and that it would change thousands of kids’ lives—and possibly the U.S. approach to education. Award-winning education reporter Jay Mathews tells their story. "An inspiring look at how KIPP has accomplished these amazing results and the barriers they faced." —Bill Gates, 2009 annual letter “Fast-paced, engrossing and heartening. . . . In Mathews’s telling, it’s hard not to love these guys” —Washington Post “The most comprehensive and authoritative account yet of KIPP's inception and vision.” —Andy Rotherham, former education adviser to President Clinton and co-founder, Education Sector “This book should be read by everyone who cares about education in our country.” —Richard W. Riley, former Secretary of Education
