Bartoli dispels the myth that public schools with low-income and high student-of-color populations suffer from a poor education and problematic parent and community relations - the two Philadelphia schools she profiles prove otherwise. She offers examples of city folks creating an ecology for successful learning, including observations and interview data from teachers, parents, students, school leaders, and community members. Even successful schools have their failures so Bartoli's "warts and all" approach recognizes the barriers and difficulties that can impact a city system.
Throughout the book, Bartoli emphasizes two aspects of teaching and learning that are too often missing from research on education - relationships and context - which, when recognized and acted upon, can result in better learning for students and teachers in more democratic schools.
