The inspirational stories of young learners in this book discredit
assumptions behind recent educational reforms, including high
stakes testing and No Child Left Behind policies. The experiences
of the American Indian children and the author, a kindergarten
teacher, challenge the widely held assumption that minority
children enter school 'at risk'. Deficit theory assumes that
minority children are responsible for their failure by cultural
deficiency or family ineptitude. Fayden vividly shows how truly
equitable treatment of minority children can improve students'
inherent abilities to learn and can result in higher achievement
for minority and all young children.
