Will Privatizing Schools Really Help Inner-City Students of Color?

Although urban public school educators are not achieving optimal results, there is no evidence that for-profit educational companies will do any better or possess special expertise in educating poor students of color. Education Alternatives, Inc. has trouble retaining low-paid nonunion paraprofessionals and has cut out minority contractors. The Edison Project has no multicultural curriculum. (36 references) (MLH)
