[Fredslist] Gotham Book Club Frank Bruni

[John Buscarello]

Definitely the book is of interest for parents, however it will be of interest to all as there is a misconception in the world that going to a top school is most important! This is the description of the book from Amazon's website:

"Bruni, a bestselling author and a columnist for the New York Times, shows that the Ivy League has no monopoly on corner offices, governors' mansions, or the most prestigious academic and scientific grants. Through statistics, surveys, and the stories of hugely successful people who didn't attend the most exclusive schools, he demonstrates that many kinds of colleges-large public universities, tiny hideaways in the hinterlands-serve as ideal springboards. And he illuminates how to make the most of them. What matters in the end are a student's efforts in and out of the classroom, not the gleam of his or her diploma."

Am I right that this is a book that parents of high school and college aged children would be interested in?
