Race to Close the Gap

Al,

This is the assignment for my midterm:

1) Comparative essay on Rothstein and Hess (5-7 pages double-spaced): Hess and Rothstein present two opposing perspectives on what is "wrong" in today's public schools and what policies should be enacted to improve them. In this essay, you should briefly summarize each author's position, and then spend the remainder of the essay: 1) analyzing the strengths and weaknesses of each argument; and, 2) offering you own conclusions and suggestions for how, if at all, we should go about trying to improve American K-12 education. The due date will be determined during the first class period. This essay is 20 percent of your grade.

Here it is
