Annotation:

"Kids Don't Want to Fail" uses empirical evidence to refute the widely accepted hypothesis that the black-white achievement gap in secondary schools is due to a cultural resistance to schooling in the black community. The author finds that inadequate elementary school preparation--not negative attitude--accounts for black students' underperformance.
