Book Synopsis Left Behind by : Edward P. St. John
Book excerpt: This book argues that American cities have been engaged for the past three decades in a radical-but failing-effort to transform general and vocational high schools into college preparatory institutions. By examining the educational reforms in four urban charter schools across the United States and four public high schools in New York City, it reveals how educators contend with the challenge of developing new courses while providing social support for students to build college-going cultures.
