“A Class of Leaders is a great book, a great read. It’s 1969—a time of riots, drugs and the Vietnam war. Because Josh Sampson, a white teacher in an all black high school, isn’t getting anywhere with his students, he decides to let his students teach each other. Soon they are having spirited debates about the war, abortion, the grading system and other important issues of the day. They are also writing about those issues. Plus, they are holding trials and signing petitions. There is only one problem: the principal finds out what’s going on. Sampson continues to forge ahead battling the administration and at times his own students.” —Susan McGregor, Amazon book reviewer
