Books
I'm reading Promises I Can Keep: Why Poor Women Put Motherhood Before Marriage by Kathryn Edin and Maria Kefalas. This book really gives me a lot of insights into the lives of my students. I have students from single parent families with 10 kids. Ten kids! There's something wrong with this picture. The book is great, but I wish it were better edited. Typos and factual errors are everywhere. To pay $25 for a book filled with mistakes is a travesty. Why don't publishers care about editing?

What horrifies me is that people like THAT get away with publishing books in the first place. It's so hard to get something published. Why do they pick bad writers?
