The first section provides an overview of the problem of student underachievement and the factors that contribute to it. The second section presents the findings of Ayres' research, which include statistical data on student performance and retention rates in various urban school systems. The third and final section of the book offers recommendations for improving the educational outcomes of students in urban schools.Ayres argues that many students in urban schools are held back by factors such as poverty, inadequate teaching, and a lack of resources. He also highlights the importance of early intervention and individualized instruction in addressing the needs of struggling students.
