In her long-awaited and now bestselling second book, \u003ci\u003e\"Multiplication Is for White People\u003c\/i\u003e , \u003ci\u003e\"\u003c\/i\u003e the award-winning educator reflects on the last fifteen years of reform efforts—including No Child Left Behind, standardized testing, alternative teacher certification paths, and the charter school movement—that have left a generation of poor children of color feeling that higher educational achievement is not for them.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHailed as \"illuminating\" ( \u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e ), \"thought-provoking\" ( \u003ci\u003eHarvard Educational Review\u003c\/i\u003e ), and a \"much-needed review of the American educational system\" ( \u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e ), \u003ci\u003e\"Multiplication Is for White People\"\u003c\/i\u003e is a passionate reminder that there is no achievement gap at birth. Poor teaching, negative stereotypes, and a curriculum that does not adequately connect to poor children’s lives conspire against the prospects of poor children of color. From K-12 classrooms through the college years, Delpit brings the topic of educating other people’s children into the twenty-first century, outlining a blueprint for raising expectations based on a simple premise: that all aspects of advanced education are for everyone.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"New Press, The","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47047568294128,"sku":"9781595588982","price":17.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781595588982_p0.jpg?v=1763815514","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781595588982","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
