The contributors
to this yearbook attempt to explain the reasons for the poor fit
between schools and poor, immigrant, linguistically different, and
racial minority students. The problems that confront schools because
of changing populations and increased diversity are discussed in
the following chapters: (1) "The Old Problem of 'New Students':
Purpose, Content, and Pedagogy" (W. Norton Grubb); (2) "Changing
Students/Changing Needs" (Aaron M. Pallas, Gary Natriello,
and Edward L. McDill); (3) "Nurturing Potential Talent in a
Diverse Population" (A. Harry Passow); (4) "Normalizing
Preschool Education: The Illusive Imperative" (Sharon L. Kagan);
(5) "The Unfulfilled Mission of Federal Compensatory Education
Programs" (Erwin Flaxman, Gary Burnett, and Carol Ascher);
(6) "Second-Chance Programs for Youth" Frederick Doolittle);
(7) "Preparation for Work: The 'Forgotton' Student" (Erwin
Flaxman and others); (8) "Curriculum Controversies in Multicultural
Education" (Christine E. Sleeter); (9) "Creating Educational
Opportunity for African Americans without Upsetting the Status Quo"
(Robert Lowe and Harvey Kantor); (10) "Minority Schools on
Purpose" (Charles L. Glenn); (11) "Families and Neighborhoods
as Contexts for Education" (Jeanne Brooks-Gunn, Jill Denner,
and Pam Klebanov); and (12) "The Effectiveness of Collaborative
School-Linked Services" (Margaret C. Wang, Geneva D. Haertel,
