Excerpts
"Remedial, illiterate, intellectually deficient - these are the stigmas that define America's educationally underprepared.

With rich detail, Rose demonstrates innovative methods to initiate "problem" students into the world of language, literature, and written expression. This book challenges educators, policymakers, and parents to reexamine their assumptions about the capacities of a wide range of students. Already a classic, Lives on the Boundary offers a truly democratic vision, one that should be heeded by anyone concerned with America's future."--BOOK JACKET.
