Summary
"In Just Schools, noted legal scholars, educators, and social scientists examine schools with widely divergent methods of fostering equality in order to explore the possibilities and limits of equal education today. The contributors to Just Schools combine empirical research with ethnographic accounts to paint a picture of the quest for justice in classrooms around the nation." "As America's schools strive to accommodate new students from around the world, Just Schools provides a look at the different ways we define and promote justice in schools and society at large."--BOOK JACKET.
