520    "Citizen Schools is a fresh and personal look at education
       and the increasingly unequal access to opportunity in 
       America. The book gets beyond the tired debate about 
       charter schools and unions and tests to look at what is 
       really driving the growing opportunity gap - what Schwarz 
       calls a chasm - between upper and lower income children. 
       Schwarz charts the supports and experiences that marked 
       his own childhood and that of his children and shares the 
       story of Citizen Schools, the organization he built, and 
       the thousands of children it serves who were born with 
       little money and few connections but by virtue of repeated
       positive experiences with professionally successful adults
       are now catapulting their way into good colleges and good 
       careers. While differences in school and teacher quality 
       contribute to growing opportunity and achievement gaps, 
       Schwarz shares stories and convincing data that 
       demonstrate most of the gap comes from extra learning 
       opportunities offered outside of school. Schwarz shares 
       heartwarming as well as tragic stories and cutting edge 
       research, describing a world in which the real driver of 
       achievement gaps has little to do with tests or schools or
       even teachers, but instead has everything to do with 
       social networks and chances to "experience success with 
       successful people." "--|cProvided by publisher.
