First diary…I hope I get this right!
As we have the tendency to do in my short sojourn here at the Moose, a Mooser and I were discussing education and more specifically public schools in another diary. I’ve decided to move over to another diary to continue what I found to be an interesting discussion.
As I’ve been proselytizing here and everywhere about Jonathan Kozol’s book, Savage Inequalities, I will rely on the text from the book to support my arguments. As was pointed out, the book was written 20 years ago. Sadly not much has changed for children in urban areas across the country. I am so grateful that I was finishing high school when the author was conducting his research. The district where I completed my high school education is immeasurably worse now.
