Is the
inner-city
"culture of failure" a new thing? Is the latest Black and Latino
generation of teenagers worse than ever? What does the academic
literature really say? How do Black and Latino youth in South Los Angeles, Harlem, and the South Bronx-- some labeled as "troublemakers," some labeled as the "chosen" to succeed-- interpret their school conditions, their own efforts, and what happens next? What sorts of education policies do students urge us to focus on? By paying attention to real-life student voices, Our Schools Suck is an intervention into the adult-driven debates on inner-city youth, providing needed voices of love, outrage, challenge, and hope.
