Book Description
Of the approximately 50 million public school students in the United States, more than half are in urban schools. A contemporary companion to City Kids, City Teachers: Reports from the Front Row, this new and timely collection has been compiled by four of the country's most prominent urban educators. Contributors including Sandra Cisneros, Jonathan Kozol, Sapphire, and Patricia J. Williams provide some of the best writing on life in city schools and neighborhoods. Young people and practicing teachers, poets and scholars, social critics and journalists offer unique takes on topics ranging from culturally relevant teaching and scripted curricula to the criminalization of youth, gentrification, and the inequities of school funding. In the words of Sonia Nieto, City Kids, City Schools “challenge[s] the conventional wisdom of what it means to teach in urban schools.”

Book Description
Excerpt from Country Schools for City Boys However, what the public at large has failed to accomplish for all the children private individuals have been able to accomplish for a few of the more fortunate. The idea of the country school for city children, supported by private tuition and private means, as worked out practically at Baltimore, has extended in some degree to all parts of the country and will probably become quite common. The story of this movement, as told by Dr. William Starr Myers in the accompanying manuscript, is both interesting and suggestive and should be known to all who are working for the betterment of the material conditions of schools for city children. I therefore recommend that this manuscript be published as a bulletin of this bureau and would call especial attention to the suggestions made by Dr. Myers as to the possibility of applying this principle to the public schools. It is quite easy to see how this might be done for the public high schools, at least of most cities, with little or no additional cost to the public for buildings, grounds, and equipment, or to indi vidual parents and children for transportation. It has frequently happened in the history of education in this and other countries that movements for the betterment of the public schools have begun in a small way with private schools as the result of the enthusiasm and earnestness of only a few individuals. It is sincerely hoped that this movement, begun at Baltimore in a private way and already extended to a dozen cities, may become a great national movement for the betterment of the public schools, in which the great masses of children are educated.
