Overview

"This volume provides information to help stimulate thinking and so change the course of the educational infrastructure in an effort to save students who may be lost due to their life circumstances. It considers such issues as the lack of access to the technological equipment needed to help them develop appropriate skills to participate in the current classroom setting, and the difference in the background and life experiences of the ""have-nots""."
