Divided We Fail takes a fresh look at how to promote equality and achievement
in education, and offers a plan to improve both through economic integration
of America’s public schools. The Century Foundation Task Force on the Common
School commissioned research which indicates that schools are becoming increasingly
segregated by economic status. These findings are consistent with other disturbing
reports observing resegregation of schools by race. The Task Force recommendations
of integration through public school choice, rather than forced busing, are
based on lessons learned from programs in Wisconsin, Missouri, North Carolina,
and Massachusetts. The report also addresses why integration through public
school choice is more promising than current strategies such as testing and
vouchers.
