The promise of public education is excellence for all. But that promise has seldom been kept for low-income children of color in America. In How the Other Half Learns, teacher and education journalist Robert Pondiscio focuses on Success Academy, the network of controversial charter schools in New York City founded by Eva Moskowitz, who has created something unprecedented in American education: a way for large numbers of engaged and ambitious low-income families of color to get an education for their children that equals and even exceeds what wealthy families take for granted.

A driven, thoughtful, and well researched book
Revisado: 12-29-23
This book is excellently written and thought provoking. The narrative was highly engaging. And so were Pondiscio's insights from his teaching days, his year of observing Success Academy, and his interviews. I did not want to put this book down and have been talking about it a lot.
I loved how Pondiscio dug for the truth, sharing pros and cons to Success Academy's approach, and generally acknowledging critics' arguments while providing his own point of view and it's reasoning clearly. I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in education. I learned a few things about assertiveness and self management from it as well.
The narrator was Pondiscio himself and he did a good job there, too.
