As MacArthur award-winning educator Lisa Delpit reminds us - so that all research shows - there is no achievement distance at delivery. In her long-awaited second reserve, Delpit reveals a eye-catching picture of the components of contemporary public education that conspire contrary to the prospects for poor children of color, developing a persistent distance in achievement during the college years that has eluded several years of reform. Delpit's best-selling and paradigm-shifting first reserve, Other People's Children, focused on social slippage in the school room between white professors and students of color. Now, in "Multiplication Is ideal for White People", Delpit shows on two decades of reform attempts - including No Child Left Behind, standardized evaluation, the creation of alternative teacher certification pathways, and the charter college movement - which may have still left a era of poor children of color feeling that higher educational accomplishment isn't on their behalf. In chapters covering key, middle, and high school, as well as school, Delpit concludes that it is not that difficult to describe the persistence of the accomplishment gap.
