With our nation’s urban schools growing more segregated yearly, Susan Eaton set out to see whether separate can ever in point of fact be equal. An award-winning journalist, Eaton spent four years at Simpson-Waverly Elementary School, an all-minority school in Hartford, Connecticut. Located in the poorest city in the wealthiest state in the nation, this can be a glaring example of the great racial and economic divide found in almost every major urban center across the country. The Children in Room E4 is the compelling story of one student, one classroom, and one indomitable teacher, Ms. Luddy. In the course of Band-Aid reforms and hotshot superintendents with empty promises, drug dealers and street gangs, Ms. Luddy’s star student, Jeremy, and his fellow classmates face tremendous challenges both outside and inside of a school bring to an end from mainstream The usa. Meanwhile, across town, a team of civil rights lawyers fight an intrepid battle to end the de facto segregation that beleaguers Jeremy’s school and hundreds of others across The usa. From inside the school room and the courtroom, Eaton reveals the unsettling truths about an education system that leaves millions of children in the back of and gives voice to people who strive against overwhelming odds for a better future.
