While these are all separate problems, much of the contention over them comes down to the same thing - an apparent conflict between policies designed to promote each student's ability to succeed and those designed to insure the good of all students or the nation as a whole. The authors show how policies to promote individual success too often benefit only those already privileged by race or class, and often conflict with policies that are intended to benefit everyone. They propose a framework that builds on our nation's rapidly changing population in order to help Americans get past acrimonious debates about schooling. Their goal is to make public education work better so that all children can succeed. 410 0$aOxford scholarship online. 606 $aEducation and state$zUnited States 606 $aEducational equalization$zUnited States 606 $aPublic schools$zUnited States 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aEducation and state 615 0$aEducational equalization 615 0$aPublic schools 676 $a371.01/0973 700 $aHochschild$b Jennifer L.$f1950-$01032307 701 $aScovronick$b Nathan B.$f1945-$01032308 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910451770103321 996 $aThe American dream and the public schools$92450094 997 $aUNINA
