Title: No Excuse: Seven Principals of Low Income Schools Who Set the Standard for High Achievement by Samuel Casey Carter ISBN: 0-89195-081-8 Publisher: Heritage Foundation Pub. Date: July, 1999 Format: Paperback List Price(USD): $5.00 |

Summary: Carter scores one for the Real World
Comment: Its title aside, this is a book about children, an empirical treatment contra the entrenched, racially tinged "Poor Kids Can't Learn" bias. What makes these success stories more than just a "position paper" for policymakers is the human face Carter puts on seven school principals who, far from being "out of touch" with students, go to great lengths to ensure their radical accessibility. Carter provides a counterexample for everyone who believes that poor, minority students should be relegated to the Dumpster of the tired, spendthrifty DOE/AFT Leviathan. And he shows us that an intellectual but straightforward, sympathetic but demanding approach to teaching can yield not merely average, but outstanding results. Like the grass that emerges green from cracked and dirty concrete, the principals Carter studies have achieved more with hope, faith and confidence in their charges than most "well-off" schools have with mere money.
