Book Reviews of Savage Inequalities: Children in America's Schools
Book Review: where have our school systems gone wrong?
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is a must-read for anyone with children in our
public school systems. Kozol has extensively researched the
good, the bad, and the ugly of public schools, and has written
a shocking report on the inequalities rampant in the system.
He paints a picture of an educational white elephant... top
heavy with gimmicks and gadgets in the "privileged" schools,
and replete with falling ceilings and no locker rooms in the
poorer schools. Perhaps this book will prompt you to check more
thoroughly into your local schools, and attempt to right what
is wrong.
