In "Up Where We Belong," Gail Thompson asked the students in a low
performing school to be candid about their high school experiences.
Using this information and relying on data from questionnaires and
focus groups, Thompson discovered a huge gap in perception between
how teachers and students view their experience of school. The book
explores this disparity, and uncovers some of the reasons for
students' low achievement, apathy, and frustration. Most important,
she offers vital lessons for transforming schools-especially for
underachieving kids and students of color.
