Explores the persistence of failure in today's urban schools. At its heart is the argument that most education policy discussions are disconnected from the daily realities of urban schools. Charles M. Payne argues that we have failed to account fully for the weakness of the social infrastructure and the often dysfunctional organisational environments of urban schools and school systems.
