"This book is great!"

In Reflections of an Urban High School Principal, Bernard reflects on some of his childhood experiences growing up in the streets of Brooklyn, New York. He also describes how he survived the New York City public school system as a student, only to return as a teacher, assistant principal, principal and superintendent.

You will laugh and cry at his truths.
