The promise of public education is excellence for all. But that promise has seldom been kept for low-income children of color in America. In "How the Other Half Learns", teacher and education writer Robert Pondiscio focuses on Success Academy, the network of controversial charter schools in New York City founded by Eva Moskowitz. Moskowitz has created something unprecedented in American education: a way for large numbers of engaged and ambitious low-income families of color to get an education for their children that equals and even exceeds what wealthy families take for granted. Her methods are unorthodox. Her results are astronishing. But are they replicable?-- Back cover Educational equalization United States.
