AUTHOR
SUMMARY
Boston's schools in 2006 won the Eli Broad Prize for the Most Improved Urban School System in America. But from the 1930s into the 1970s the city schools succumbed to scandals including the sale of jobs and racial segregation. This book describes the black voices before and after court decisions and the struggles of Boston teachers before and after collective bargaining. The contributions of universities, corporations and political leaders to restore academic achievement are evaluated by one who observed Boston schools for forty years.Cronin, Joseph Marr is the author of '"Reforming Boston Schools, 1930-2006', published 2008 under ISBN 9780230604018 and ISBN 0230604013.
