Five Miles Away, A World Apart
One City, Two Schools, and the Story of Educational Opportunity in Modern America
Paperback Engels 2011 9780199836857Samenvatting
James Ryan traces the fortunes of two schools in Richmond, Virginia--one suburban, relatively affluent, and mostly white, and the other urban, relatively poor, and mostly black. Drawing on compelling interviews with students, teachers, and principals, including one who has been a principal at both schools, Ryan explains how certain policies--school finance, school choice, and standardized testing--not only fail to bridge the performance gap between students at urban and suburban schools but actually perpetuate segregation across the country.
