Anyone concerned with education should read this book. It poignantly describes the failures of American education, especially as they relate to poorer and marginalized peoples who have fewer opportunities to succeed.
Rose effectively argues that those typically underserved by education are ripe with potential and ability, and teachers should understand how to better reach them and help them excel. Unfortunately, the typical American educational curriculum fails these sorts of people, and they are left deemed unworthy or deficient somehow. Rose shows that this is simply untrue.
I definitely recommend this book to anyone who cares about education in America.
