Savage Inequalities by Jonathan Kozol
Kozol discusses the disparities in education between schools of different classes and races. It is based on his observations of various classrooms in the public school systems of East St. Louis, Chicago, New York City, Camden, Cincinnati, and Washington D.C.. His observations take place in both schools with the lowest per capita spending on students and the highest, ranging from just over $3,000 in Camden, NJ to a maximum expenditure of up to $15,000 in Great Neck, NY.
M: This book was shocking to me and opened up an entirely unexplored truth. I especially recommend this book to anyone entering the field of education.
