He spoke with teachers, principals, superintendents, and, most important, children. What he found was devastating. Not only were schools for rich and poor blatantly unequal, the gulf between the two extremes was wideningand it has widened since. The urban schools he visited were overcrowded and understaffed, and lacked the basic elements of learningincluding books and, all too often, classrooms for the students.In Savage Inequalities, Kozol delivers a searing examination of the extremes of wealth and poverty and calls into question the reality of equal opportunity in our nations schools.Praise for Savage InequalitiesI was unprepared for the horror and shame I felt. . . .
