The Urban Context of Schools and Education: Community, Commitment, and Change.
Parker, Laurence; Kelly, Michelle; Sanford, Jaymin
Educational Theory, v48 n1 p123-37 Win 1998
Reviews four books on urban education, discussing prospective policy solutions to improve its condition. Discusses how the books agree or disagree with emerging policy patterns and perspectives and argues that the solution is not linking urban schools to the suburbs, but rather centering the education policy discussion on urban students, community, commitment, and change.
