Anyone, everyone should read this book. A great explanation of what contributes to the achievement and how its so much more than just schools. It tries to show that "eliminating the social class differences in student outcomes requires eliminating the impact of social class on children in American society." Good focus on the long term effects of education, not just cognitive skills, effects for both individuals and our society as a whole.
