Cockeyed Education by Gerry Giordano will be to the case study method in education what Steven Levitt and Stephen Dubner’s Freakonomics was to the field of economics. From the pithy title to the contents of the ten chapters, Giordano’s engaging style coupled with the lively, even playful, analysis of topics ranging from journalism to video gaming, from paying kids for grades to school uniforms invites the casual bookstore browser to the serious scholar of education to open the cover and take a peek into the fascinating world that the case study method applied to these educational issues lays bare. This book is destined to become a popular resource for teacher, school leader, and educational researcher graduate education programs as well as a book that the general public will find both entertaining and informative. Giordano has authored a book that is likely to rival an educational classic, The Saber-Tooth Curriculum, as this new book is also destined to become!
