In 2008, Ed Boland, a well-off New Yorker who had spent 20 years as an executive at a nonprofit, had a midlife epiphany: He should leave his white-glove world, the galas at the Waldorf and drinks at the Yale Club, and go work with the city’s neediest children.
Boland ends his book with familiar suggestions for reform: Invest more money, recruit better teachers, retool the unions, end poverty.
