Alvaro Francisco Hidalgo Rodriguez's Reviews > Savage Inequalities: Children in America's Schools

While this was written some 30 years ago, I highly doubt much has changed and I would not be surprised if the disparities in education have gotten worse along with the widening gap in incomes. What this book does so well is show how these early differences in schooling leads to some of the problems we see later on in life. It also does a great job exposing the mechanisms through which wealthy people keep the system rigged to their benefit.
