It's a blackboard jungle out there. Metal detectors at entrances. Overcrowded classrooms. Leaking roofs. Armed guards in the corridors. Burned-out teachers. Apathetic parents. No wonder Johnny can't read-even though he graduated. Explore how our urban students reached this stage, and what can be done to make it right.
