I finished the other new textbook this semester. The Jarolmen and Bautista-Thomas book was okay. I appreciate the breadth of content they cover, the national focus on school social work, and the number of case examples. My students described it as easy to read, and they liked it as well. My major criticism is that it is new (updated 2023). Still, so many of the references aren't current, and there is a minimal focus on more updated information (for example, the discussion of school violence).
