    Katherine Boo’s Expectations describes the challenges and successes of Superintendent of Denver Public Schools Michael Bennett’s ambitious education reform plan to in 2006. Bennett’s reform aimed to prepare the majority of the Denver’s public school students for college by establishing the toughest graduation requirements in the state.
