Acknowledgements
While I have this opportunity, I would like to thank
those who reviewed Chalkbored in its early
stages and offered me useful feedback. Although my
mention of them here is brief, their contributions were
immense:
Karen Case, Theresa Crifo, Don Schneider, Penny
Schneider, Dan Stokes, Audrey Wideman,
Max Wideman
I would also like to thank
Sue LaPointe
for her excellent editing. I recommend her to anyone
seeking a copy editor (for those interested, she also
works as a freelance writer).
Finally, I am grateful to
the invaluable (and inadvertent) assistance provided by
many others. Although I have not met these people, their
work has influenced and improved my writing.
Morris Rosenthal,
through his website and books, offers useful advice to
first-time authors and those interested in the
publishing industry.
Elaine and John Thiesmeyer have
created an excellent software program called
Editor that helps writers improve their grammar and
style.
The authors and organizations listed as
references in my book have produced tremendous research.
Without their efforts, my task would have been much more
difficult. For example, James Kulik,
NCES, and
OECD publish
immaculate and comprehensive research. Their insight,
attention to detail, and objective analysis elevate the
level of knowledge and discourse in education.
