High Stakes Education

The author was true to the content and context. It was factually correct and sheded light on many factors that are hindering educational progress in Chicago. I really liked how she linked gobalization to educational policy and how it has impacted minority communities. An excellent job was done in showing how the present mayor was actually carrying out what his father started. Finally it reveals that Chicago never had any plans to incorporate African Americans in the mainstream.
