Description

The award-winning account of how The united states’s educational system fails it students and what can also be done about it

Remedial, illiterate, intellectually deficient—these are the stigmas that define The united states’s educationally underprepared. Having grown up poor and been labeled this way, nationally acclaimed educator and creator Mike Rose takes us into classrooms and communities to reveal what truly lies in the back of the labels and test scores. With rich detail, Rose demonstrates innovative methods to initiate “problem” students into the world of language, literature, and written expression. This book challenges educators, policymakers, and parents to re-examine their assumptions about the capacities of quite a lot of students.

Already a classic, Lives on the Boundary offers a in point of fact democratic vision, one that are meant to be heeded by someone concerned with The united states’s future.

“A mirror to the many lacking perfect grammar and spelling who may see their dreams translated into reality in spite of everything.” –Los Angeles Times Book Review

“Vividly written . . . tears apart all of society’s prejudices about the academic abilities of the underprivileged.” –New York Times
