Recenzii

"Brings forth important and current information on equity and race in a way that can be used for all students. One is left with a very well-rounded perspective of the complex problems and possible solutions for public education. Covers a remarkable range of information and perspectives. I will use it as a text for teacher/administrator education and I want to send some of this info to my teachers NOW."
