Possibilities for Children: A Conversation with Mike Rose.
Scherer, Marge
Educational Leadership, v54 n7 p6-11 Apr 1997
Mike Rose wrote "Possible Lives: the Promise of Public Education in America" (1995) to enrich the conversation about public education's alleged shortcomings. The nation's "best" classrooms vary considerably, but all are respectful, physically and emotionally safe, and intellectually and socially vibrant places. Parents and teachers must speak out against market panaceas, racism, and media-inspired violence. (MLH)
