Savage Inequalities: Children in America's Schools by Jonathan Kozol

challenging dark informative sad slow-paced

5.0

whoa. this one hits hard. as someone working in a public school right now, i am so grateful for the immensely sobering research Kozol has done and continues to do. it’s horrific to look at our public school system through such stark honesty and see how deeply unequal it all is. Kozol takes truths i knew on a basic level and proves them again and again and again, though legal arguments, personal testimonies, and chilling financial analyses. a must-read for anyone who has ever enjoyed a good education, or suffered through a bad one.
