Will Privatizing Schools Really Help Inner-City Students of Color?
Farrell, Walter C., Jr.; And Others
Educational Leadership, v52 n1 p72-75 Sep 1994

Education Alternatives, Inc. has trouble retaining low-paid nonunion paraprofessionals and has cut out minority contractors. The Edison Project has no multicultural curriculum. (36 references) (MLH)
