Interweaving vivid portraits of day-to-day school life with clear and evenhanded analysis, Patrick J. McCloskey takes us through an eventful year at Rice High School, as staff, students, and families make heroic efforts to prevail against society's expectations. McCloskey's riveting narrative brings into sharp relief an urgent public policy question: whether (and how) to save these schools that provide the only viable option for thousands of poor and working-class students--and thus fulfill a crucial public mandate. Just as significantly, \u003ci\u003eThe Street Stops Here \u003c\/i\u003eoffers invaluable lessons for low-performing urban public schools.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Patrick McCloskey\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0520267974\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780520267978\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of California Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/30\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 480\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.46lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.97h x 6.07w x 1.16d","brand":"Patrick McCloskey","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43994112786687,"sku":"9780520267978","price":23.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ecd511c4-1f61-429e-b67b-01173ce54198.jpg?v=1683328200","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-street-stops-here-patrick-mccloskey-9780520267978","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
