Breaking the Cycle

How Schools Can Overcome Urban Challenges

Beschreibung

America's failure to educate its urban children is evidenced by our woeful statistics. If it is possible to turn around this bleak picture-and it is-this is a story well worth telling. And this is what Breaking the Cycle aims to do.

Autor

Nancy Brown Diggs' long interest in other cultures is reflected by her Ph.D. in East Asian Studies, as well as her fluency in French, Spanish, and German. With Breaking the Cycle, the author of Meet the Japanese, Steel Butterflies, Looking Beyond the Mask, Hidden in the Heartland, and, with Tanya Higgins, A Look at Life in Northern Ireland explores a culture closer to home, that of inner-city teens, describing how, with the help of good schools, they, too, can achieve the American dream.
