| Synopsis: |
How a nation treats its poor and "slow runners" (including its sick, elderly, and disabled) defines that society. Written by a leading education scholar, this book draws on Ornstein's years of experience in researching and writing about schools, education, and the workplace. Ornstein's new book focuses on those who run an "average race" or a "slow race" in life and discusses what provisions, safety nets, and safeguards a society can provide for those who are at the bottom half or left side of the bell curve, even for those who fall slightly on the right side. The book is about how we treat those with less talent and less ability in context with those who are strong and/or run a "swift race," to address the inevitable question: can a society achieve both excellence and equality? |
