Review:
"Should not only provoke new research but open the minds of policy analysts and educators to the value of clear, rigorous standards. It should also help shatter the assumptions that city kids can't be expected to learn and that little can be expected of them." Herbert J. Walberg, University of Illinois, Chicago and the Hoover Institution, Stanford University
