"We must create an approach to educating all our students that guarantees those who don t have tough older brothers, a mother with a vision, and a father with conviction can also make their way through our public education system with a yearning to achieve and be whatever they choose."
At last, now there is a best-method, how-to solution. The Kid in Purple Pants: Structured Approaches to Educating Underprivileged Students is immediately applicable for any teacher, principal, superintendent, or board member. It tells what it takes to meet the needs of those underprivileged students who either never reach their full potential or simply vanish in today s educational system. We must be their advocates, particularly those who have no clue what they are capable of becoming or how to even get started.
