Reviews
Duncan and Murnane provide a no-nonsense view of the growing educational gap between the haves and the have-nots in America. They also scour the landscape to find promising solutions that provide hope for better outcomes in the future. This is a thoughtful book that should be read with the care it merits. Joel Klein, CEO of Amplify, and former chancellor, New York City Department of Education<br><br> This thorough examination of our public school system provides a clear picture of some of the toughest challenges - particularly those facing low-income students - and the directions in which we need to go to fix them. This book should be on the desk of every educator and policy maker in America so we can begin to change the odds for all of America's children. Geoffrey Canada, president and CEO, Harlem Children's Zone
