Savage Inequalities is an incredibly eye-opening expose on American education. It completely turned my view of the government on its head.

This is a textbook for some education classes. A basic tenet seems to be that children are more upset about seeing other children with better opportunities than they have, rather than lacking any of their own. I can't help but think the author thinks that if we just deprived ALL kids certain opportunities or materials, we'd all be happier.

A must read for anyone involved with the education and/or care of the children in our country. Others should read this as well to understand the inequalities in America that tend to be overlooked.
