public elementary and secondary schools in the U.S. Specifically,
it addresses unequal privilege in education, gender equity in the
classroom, the mathematics achievement gap, disproportionate student
discipline, over representation in special education, and the
education of students from under-served racial, national origin, and
language minority groups. Students examine relevant data from
selected districts or schools as they study these issues.
