Description:
This is a heartfelt solution to the problem of impoverished education received by children in lower income families. How do we enrich the educational experience of children in need? Gene Maeroff answers that, in addition to greater financial investment in their schools, these children must have a support system that emphasizes four areas: a sense of connectedness, a sense of well-being, a sense of academic initiative, and a sense of knowing. Maeroff builds a compelling case for how a system of social capital will make a difference in the effort to improve opportunities for disadvantaged children.
