Economically integrated schools, the author argues, will do far more to promote achievement and equal opportunity than vouchers, standards, class size reduction, or any of the other leading education proposals on the left and right that seek to make "separate but equal" schools work. Building on two recent education trends--the decline in racial desegregation as a legal tool and the movement toward greater public school choice--All Together Now provides a blueprint for creating schools that educate children from various backgrounds under one roof. Concurring with the concerns of voucher proponents about the unfairness of trapping poor kids in failing schools, the book provides a practical, viable, and legally sound plan for promoting economic and racial integration among public schools. 606 $aEducational equalization$zUnited States 606 $aEducation$xEconomic aspects$zUnited States 606 $aPublic schools$zUnited States 615 0$aEducational equalization 615 0$aEducation$xEconomic aspects 615 0$aPublic schools 676 $a379.2/6/0973 700 $aKahlenberg$b Richard D$01723603 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910818833103321 996 $aAll together now$94124996 997 $aUNINA
