Lower-Track Classrooms: A Curricular and Cultural Perspective [Book Review].
Hamovitch, Bram
Urban Education, v27 n4 p475-80 Jan 1993
This ethnography of eight lower-track classrooms in two schools gives insight into the operation of the tracking system, although it implicitly accepts tracking and does not face the injustice children experience as a result of lower-track placement. Broader structural reasons underlying the tracking system are not examined. (SLD)
