5 out of 5 stars A timely and much needed wake-up call.......2002-10-07

Now featuring a new introduction by education policy expert Ray C. Rist , The Urban School: A Factory For Failure is a chilling study of how inner-city public schools help to reinforce class distinctions from a very early age. With an emphasis upon how kindergarten, first grade, and second grade force young children into social tier structures, and consequently are particularly harsh and handicapping to the poorest members of the population, The Urban School is a timely and much needed wake-up call to a educational policy and contemporary social problem that urgently needs to be addressed across the country and in every urban school district.
