And relatively few African American and Latino\/a high school students receive the kind of institutional encouragement, educational opportunities, and preparation needed for them to choose computer science as a field of study and profession. In \u003ci\u003eStuck in the Shallow End,\u003c\/i\u003e Jane Margolis and coauthors look at the daily experiences of students and teachers in three Los Angeles public high schools: an overcrowded urban high school, a math and science magnet school, and a well-funded school in an affluent neighborhood. They find an insidious “virtual segregation” that maintains inequality. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe race gap in computer science, Margolis discovers, is one example of the way students of color are denied a wide range of occupational and educational futures\u003cb\u003e.\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ci\u003eStuck in the Shallow End\u003c\/i\u003e is a story of how inequality is reproduced in America—and how students and teachers, given the necessary tools, can change the system. Since the 2008 publication of \u003ci\u003eStuck in the Shallow End\u003c\/i\u003e, the book has found an eager audience among teachers, school administrators, and academics. This updated edition offers a new preface detailing the progress in making computer science accessible to all, a new postscript, and discussion questions (coauthored by Jane Margolis and Joanna Goode).\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The MIT Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43374455423231,"sku":"9780262533461","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0452\/0886\/2873\/files\/9780262533461_s600x595.jpg?v=1781542133","url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/de\/products\/9780262533461","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
