Segregated Schools - Educational Apartheid in Post-Civil Rights America (Hardcover)

- What real progress have we made to meaningfully reform America's schools?
- Is the racial make-up of today's schools, as Paul Street argues, in a state of de facto apartheid?
- How do we begin to realize the equality that "Brown v. Board of Education" envisioned?
With an eye to the historical development of segregated education, Street examines the current state of school funding, disparities in teacher quality, student-teacher ratios, and more. Critical of "No Child Left Behind" and the school vouchers initiative, Street proposes no easy answers for creating equal educational opportunities for every American child. Instead, he offers both theoretical concepts and practical solutions for fulfilling the promise of integrated and equitable schools for all.
