Winner of the 2012 Grawemeyer Award in Education As America enters
the 21st century, U.S. students continue to slip behind in the
world's rankings in science and math. Yet, at the same time, state
prison budgets are increasing nearly three times as fast as budgets
for education. In her new book, Linda Darling-Hammond, a chief
education advisor to President Barack Obama, a bestselling author,
and a nationally recognized leader in education reform, explores
how America's performance globally is linked to the
minority-majority achievement gap at home.
