Author's Response to the Review of "Lower Track Classrooms."

Page, Reba

Urban Education, v27 n4 p481-87 Jan 1993

Hamovitch's review misinterprets key aspects of the book and of cultural and curricular analyses in general. The book links the curricular dilemma in balancing individualized and standardized knowledge to the wider culture. It is not a defense of tracking, but rather a curricular and cultural examination.
