The Crucial Voice of the People, Past and Present, Young presents important insights into what can be done to “fix” America’s public education system. Her research and observations are eye opening and provide all readers with a galvanizing focus on what needs to be done and how to get there. But most importantly, the book energizes parents with new ideas and tools to improve the schools in their own communities. The Crucial Voice of the People, Past and Present is a call to the public education system to openly listen and to communities to make themselves heard.

Young's analysis of educational policies and reform practices proved to be informative and useful while studying the effects of school reform on teachers. In the era of accountability, it is important to remember that we are all accountable for the education of our children. Young brings the concept of shared accountability to the forefront of educational reform practices and ideas. We are all responsible for the education of our children, and The Crucial Voice of the People, Past and Present provides common sense answers to the problems in our educational system​.
