Citing an increase in years of schooling attained by six years between 1900 and 1970, Duncan and Murnane find, in the last quarter of the twentieth century, a reversal due to technological advances, loss of manufacturing and outsourcing, translating into declining incomes for low-income children, who see the backside of the American Dream as it heads into the sunset. The authors present their plan for minimizing inequality in education and arresting the diverging destinies of American school children. They document the problem, focus on successful schools and programs, and show how to achieve an upward trajectory again. There are nine chapters: a fading dream; diverging destinies; family income and school success; challenges in the classroom; promising prekindergarten programs, elementary schools that work; high schools that improve life changes; programs that support families; restoring opportunity. There are notes, about the authors, and figures. Annotation ©2014 Ringgold, Inc., Portland, OR (protoview.com)
