Synopsis
Providing evidence that inner city schools have failed in their capacity to implement current strategies of educational reform, this work offers a historical analysis of a century of government and business policies that have drained the economic, political and human resources of urban populations., In this personal account, originally published in 1997, Jean Anyon provides evidence that the economic and political devastation of America's inner cities has robbed schools and teachers of the capacity to successfully implement current strategies of educational reform. She argues that without fundamental change in government and business policies and the redirection of major resources back into the schools and the communities they serve, urban schools are consigned to failure, and no effort at raising standards, improving teaching, or boosting achievement can occur. Based on her participation in an intensive four-year school reform project in the Newark, New Jersey public schools, the author vividly captures the anguish and anger of students and teachers caught in the tangle of a failing school system. "Ghetto Schooling" offers a penetrating historical analysis of more than a century of government and business policies that have drained the economic, political and human resources of urban populations. This book reveals the historical roots of the current crisis in ghetto schools and what must be done to reverse the downward spiral., In this personal account, originally published in 1997, Jean Anyon provides evidence that the economic and political devastation of America's inner cities has robbed schools and teachers of the capacity to successfully implement current strategies of educational reform.

- l***a (8)- Feedback left by buyer.More than a year agoVerified purchaseItem was near mint as described. Seller had the item packaged and out the door on the same day of my purchase, and it arrived in excellent condition about 5 days earlier than expected. eBay asking prices (by all sellers) for Noir City annuals are always much higher than I think they should be, but this seller's price was far better than the norm and good enough by comparison for me to buy it. Am delighted with the item and the seller. Many thanks!!Noir City Annual 4: 2011 (close to mint) (#145441220840)
