Since then we have seen No Child Left Behind, an obsession with standardized testing, the creation of alternative teacher certification paths, the charter school movement,\u003cbr\u003eand a host of other attempts to reform our nation’s public education system.\u003cbr\u003eTwo things we have not seen are an elimination of the achievement gap between white and African American children—or a new book by Lisa Delpit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSure to be an instant classic, \u003ci\u003e\"Multiplication Is for White People\"\u003c\/i\u003e explores a wide range of little-known research that conclusively demonstrates there is no achievement gap at birth and argues that poor teaching, negative stereotypes about African American intellectual inferiority, and a curriculum that still does not adequately connect to poor children’s lives all conspire against the education prospects of poor children of color.
