Planner, educator, and activist Alvin Schorr presents an incisive critique of America's social policies under the Reagan administration and offers clear, reasonable, and workable proposals for improving our policies in such areas as income distribution, housing, health, and education―proposals in pursuit of the goal of "common decency" for all Americans. 
"Alvin Schorr's book is recommended highly as a collection of five exceptionally well-written, thoughtful, and extensively documented policy essays."―Alfred J. Kahn, Social Work "A wide-ranging, well-informed review. . . . It exposes readers to a rich amount of material and to a modern, liberal perspective on how to move the country toward a more humane society."―Robert I. Lerman, Political Science Quarterly "Schorr's agenda deserves serious consideration in future debates on national social policy."―Library Journal "After Reagan, in a political climate more receptive to sensible social policy, liberals will badly need clearly articulated goals and technically sound devices to achieve them. Alvin Schorr's stress upon full employment and universal benefits is admirably complemented by ingenious new devices and careful estimates of their cost. Here is a realistic social agenda for the Democratic party's 1988 presidential campaign."―Robert Lekachman, Professor of Economics, Herbert Lehman College, City University of New York

The call-to-arms to leave no child behind” in America has become popularly associated with the Bush administration’s education plana plan that actually diverges greatly from the ideals of the Children’s Defense Fund, which originated the concept. Here, in a bold and engaging new book, Dr. James Comer reclaims this now-famous exhortation as a tool for positive and substantive change. Far removed from the federal government’s focus on standardized testing as the panacea for our educational ills, Dr. Comer’s argumentdrawn from his own experiences as the creator of the School Development Programurges teachers, policymakers, and parents alike to work toward creating a new kind of school environment. In so doing, Dr. Comer reignites a crucial debate as he details the evolution and many successes of his School Development Program since its inception thirty-five years ago, and he illustrates how his model for change has proven effective in public schools throughout the country. Most important, he offers proof that students from all backgrounds can learn at a high level, adopt positive behavioral attitudes, and prepare for a fulfilling adult life, if they learn in schools that provide adequate support for their complete development--schools that know that leaving no child behind should be much more than just a convenient political slogan.
