A group of these writers, including Herndon, are considering a journal and together, someday, they may change the outlook of school dents with a wry insistence on "telling it like It is," Herndon explains that he is not singling out the Oakland schools for attack. He believes the system's failings are shared by almost all school systems and before things get i better, be says, schools will have to quit relying on anxiety to prod students into compliance." Herndon is tall, thin, slightly balding.
