Recenzje

"In this thoughtful and powerful book, Dr. Abdín Noboa-Ríos, identifies the central challenges facing our nation. This is not an issue unique to any one ethnic or linguistic group, but a challenge for the entire nation and one we must face together. It is particularly important that the author resists easy solutions and over-generalizations. Students who bear the label 'Latino' are not, the author argues, a monolithic group amenable to one-size-fits-all educational solutions. These students represent a complex set of cultures and backgrounds which enrich their schools and our country. This is a book to be studied and debated as educators, leaders, and policymakers come to grips with the inequities that continue to grip our educational system."-Douglas B. Reeves, Ph.D., Author, Excellence and Equity Right Now: The 90/90/90 Solution; Founder, Creative Leadership Solutions
