Educational Inequity From The Perspectives Of Those Who Live It: Urban Middle School Students' Perspectives On The Quality Of Their Education, Mark Storz

Mark G. Storz

Abstract In interviews with over 250 urban young adolescents, many students make it clear that they are acutely aware of the educational inequities that exist in their schools and that these inequities are having a negative impact on their education. Student voice is used to highlight urban middle school students’ perspectives on the quality of their education particularly in terms of curricular issues, teacher quality, and lack of resources.
