About this Item

Vg/VG not price-clipped. no inscriptions. .Clean throughout with no inscription or annotation, a lovely clean copy save for slight speckling to top edge of textblock - nothing internally. Deficit thinking refers to the notion that students, particularly low income minority students, fail in school because they and their families experience deficiencies that obstruct the leaning process (e.g. limited intelligence, lack of motivation, inadequate home socialization). Tracing the evolution of deficit thinking, the authors debunk the pseudo-science and offer more plausible explanations of why students failshelf-life.
