Description
Since the problems facing urban schools are similar from city to city, a close and careful have a look at the historical roots and origins of the situation in Milwaukee can serve as a model for those working on solutions elsewhere. The contributors touch on topics from curriculum to desegregation in the Milwaukee public schools, setting the schools’ histories within a broader context of the changing urban scene and educational policy issues. Taken together, these essays offer an odd viewpoint at the development of a major urban school system as it prepares to face the future.
