Informationen zum Autor MacArthur Award-winning education reformer and scholar Lisa Delpit is the author of "Other People's Children" and the co-editor of "The Real Ebonics Debate," "Quality Education as a Constitution Right," and "The Skin That We Speak." She is Felton G. Clark Professor of Education at Southern University in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, where she lives. Klappentext In her long-awaited second book, the award-winning educator and author of "Other People's Children" reflects on the last 15 years of educational reform effortsNincluding No Child Left Behind, standardized testing, alternative teacher certification paths, and the charter school movementNthat have left a generation of poor children of color feeling that higher educational achievement is not for them. Zusammenfassung "Multiplication is for White People" is a passionate reminder that there is no achievement gap at birth. Poor teaching, negative stereotypes and a curriculum that does not adequately connect to poor children's lives conspire against the prospects of poor children of colour.
