What is Achievement Matters : Getting Your Child the Best Education Possible about?

<p>There's a crisis in our classrooms. In school districts across the country, African American children earn sub-par test scores, are frequently relegated to less challenging classes, and are discouraged from striving to excel academically. The erroneous perception that they are intellectually inferior is tragically reinforced by a vocal and destructive segment within our own culture that seeks to portray academic achievement as a sell-out to a "white" society. Indifference toward education will doom our children to a future far beneath their capabilities -- unless we do something about it. Here is a book that shows us how. In Achievement Matters, Hugh B. Price, President of the National Urban League, offers a sound and workable strategy that will help your child succeed, and will make America's public schools accountable for educating your child well. A highly respected writer and public speaker, Mr. Price gives practical tips on improving children's literacy and achievement levels, while instilling a lifelong enthusiasm for education as a reward in itself. He describes the benchmark skills required of students in each grade, explains how to make sure your child isn't missing out
