When I finished reading this last night I started to wonder what Kozol's position was on the current debacle we are in regarding school reform. What were his views on charter schools? What were his views on Waiting for Superman? What were his views on the mess in Wisconsin? I found part of my answer in this quote of his I found on the blog Intelligent Discontent:
"It’s easy to create a hundred islands of short-term salvation for children of knowledgable families – those parents that knew how to get their kids into charter school lotteries for the few spaces available. But the hard thing is educating all the children in the neighborhood.
When I visited KIPP (Knowledge is Power Program) Academy in the Bronx, they put on quite a nice show, but I never knew a South Bronx school with so many students with nice prescription glasses and nice Lands End backpacks."
