This is a representation of an endless circle/cycle to why a failing school continues to stay in the state that it’s in. Chapter 8 describes the Higher Horizons program and how it was designed in a segregated school. The intention was to increase teacher’s expectations as well as the spending per child. As a result, children’s reading and math skills improved as well as attendance. Though just as it began to work, money was reduced and eventually caused the program to diminish. Now we’re back to where we started, square one.
