Choosing Excellence in Public Schools

Where There's a Will, There's a Way

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book explains the origins of the low expectations we have of children, including, notably, children of color, those for whom English is a second language, poor children and children with disabilities. The book dispels the basis for low expectations and makes clear the economic, demographic, civic, personal, and moral imperative to educate all children to high standards and the consequences of not doing so.
