- Great product!
The award-winning account of how America's educational system fails it students and what can be done about it

Remedial, illiterate, intellectually deficientâ€”these are the stigmas that define Americaâ€™s educationally underprepared. Having grown up poor and been labeled this way, nationally acclaimed educator and author Mike Rose takes us into classrooms and communities to reveal what really lies behind the labels and test scores. With rich detail, Rose demonstrates innovative methods to initiate â€œproblemâ€ students into the world of language, literature, and written expression. This book challenges educators, policymakers, and parents to re-examine their assumptions about the capacities of a wide range of students.

Already a classic, Lives on the Boundary offers a truly democratic vision, one that should be heeded by anyone concerned with Americaâ€™s future.
