Although this book is repetitive, it does an excellent job making clear that all students do not have the same chances in American public schools. I think it would be enough to read just the first chapter; you get the point that way. Another thing to note is that Kozol does not explain clearly how different states do school financing differently. In addition, the reader may leave the book assuming that school financing has not changed. I have to say, I'm a teacher in California, and I don't quite understand how school funding gets so inequitable.

This book is amazing, this author is amazing. A very emotional book. A must read for any teacher.
Can someone let me know if there is a more recent book with a similar premise out there?

The book that scared me out of my undergrad Ed program yet haunted me back into education. Just finished my 5th year teaching at a Title one school. Thanks Mr. Kozol.
Excellent supplement to “Nice White Parents,” a podcast from the New York Times and Serial.
a searing look at the disparities between wealthy/well-funded and poor/substandard school districts; very interesting (and upsetting)
