With the arrival of the No Child Left Behind act, the so-called Racial
Achievement Gap has attracted more concern and controversy than ever before.
According to this timely analysis, the myth of the racial
achievement gap has nothing to do with genetics's8212;and everything to do a host of embarrassing yet reversible social and pedagogical failures, including low teacher expectations, unrealistic time tables for learning goals, irrelevant curricula, ineffectual teaching methods, careless administrators, poor parental involvement, negative peer groups, and self-esteem issues. For every problem raised, the book offers a level-headed solution, culminating in a plan for closing the supposed racial
achievement gap for good.
The author also points out that teachers and administrators will no longer be allowed to let children of color fall through the cracks without facing serious repercussions.
