Publisher's Synopsis
Are students going from school to prison? Many feel, and the data does not disagree, that African American students in particular are lagging in learning and thus, getting left behind. The real question is: How? And, What do we as a society do about it? I use my life and experience as an educator in high poverty, urban schools predominated by African American students to raise awareness on a pipeline that preys on the innocent. The "Voices" speaking tells all on what society does to harm those found struggling to rise above their circumstances but how schools can change the trajectory of its low-performing culture.
