Curriculum and Students in Classrooms: Everyday Urban Education in an Era of Standardization is a timely and thought-provoking work that attends to often-neglected aspects of schooling: the everyday interactions between curriculum, teachers, and students. Most concerning are the ways in which all aspects of the relationships between curriculum, teaching, and students serve to reproduce racial, class, and gender inequities as normal. Not only are educational possibilities narrowed for all students, but also they are intentionally limited for students based on race and class. It is an understanding of everyday schooling where curriculum moves apace regardless of student comprehension and in which talk about ideas and ideals masks lockstep practices with prescribed outcomes.
