In this book, the relative contributions of a school and a pupil in producing cognitive achievement growth are theoretically isolated so that the efficiency of a school can be evaluated more objectively. Using educational psychology and the neo-classical, economic method of constrained optimization, it is argued that a school is responsible for supplying a pupil with a high learning rate while the pupil's contribution is measured by time-on-task or attention to a lesson. Two surprising inferences are drawn from this model of school quality. The most interesting result is that producing equality of achievement outcomes among pupils increases a school's ability to offer a maximum average learning rate given any level of expenditures which contradicts present theory. A further implication is that the presumed market failure does not exist since private schools are found to be more equal than state schools. Both of these ideas are empirically supported using the High School and Beyond Data. Incorporating these results into an analysis of a voucher policy suggests that efficiency can be increased by 15% and equality of cognitive achievement by 28% without forfeiting any integration within all schools.

My granddaddy used to say, "There ain't no such thing as a Nigga. Niggas are a figment of the imagination; a mental construct. An idea created to keep men down. A way of thinking that only existed in a man's mind." My granddaddy also picked his lottery numbers from a book of dreams that he kept under his bed. If he had a dream and saw a white rabbit hopping across a freshly cut lawn on Labor Day it meant you played numbers 572. If the dream was him riding on a bus uptown and a guy wearing a purple suit with a red feather in his hat, gets on the bus with exact change, and ask if the bus is heading downtown, you played 769. So we didn't take what granddaddy said too seriously. Besides I live in the hood, and in the hood "niggas" were everywhere.

Nigga" the most controversial word to come out of the English language. Some hate it, some love it, and some just don't care. Yet, it has become one of the "most widely used words to define the modern black in America today. The word "Nigga" is grossly offensive to some but not to others. The word may regularly be used by one group but its use is frowned upon by another. However, as a diverse people, we have one thing in common with the word nigga. It is part of our culture and our history. How do we take the conflicting messages of what this peculiarly ambiguous word means and bring resolution to them? We do it by opening an honest dialogue that includes both blacks and whites and every ethnicity in between. This book attempts to do that by placing you right in the middle of that cultural battle.
