Reviews
Kris Sloan, Assistant Professor, Texas A&M University and Assistant Editor, Journal of Curriculum and Pedagogy
I solidly, even strongly recommend that Routledge consider publish this collection. I would most definitely purchase this book and would encourage others to as well.
Kristen Buras, Assistant Professor University of Wisconsin, Madison
The book has the potential to make a significant contribution to the field. It would likely
be the most comprehensive volume to date.
Catherine A. Lugg, Associate Professor Rutgers University
The book is exquisitely timely. To be frank, it’s need as of yesterday. And it’s shelf life should be pretty good, given the target date of 2014 established by NCLB. The book should have a great shelf-life, extending past that date. . . . I STRONGLY recommend this book for publication. It’s timely and should remain so, and fills a critical hole in the research literature.

Descriere
This collection presents the first-ever sociological analysis of the No Child Left Behind Act. More importantly, these leading sociologists consider whether NLCB can or will accomplish its major goal: to eliminate the achievement gap by 2014.
