Publisher's Summary:

Kids have it easy these days, goes the familiar complaint - and its wrong, says Jalen Rose, the retired basketball star. Rose knows about growing up tough. Born and raised in Detroit, he never met his father. Rose found his salvation through basketball, becoming famous as a player. He now works as a basketball analyst on TV. Yet he also keeps an office beside a small auditorium at the Jalen Rose Leadership Academy, a high school that he opened in his hometown four years ago. Its a charter school, which means that it operates without many of the regulations that hobble traditional public schools. Parents and students choose to attend - theyre not assigned there by the local government. The quality of your public education shouldnt be defined by your zip code, says Rose.
