While some members of the critical education community(ies) may disagree, I think that it is imperative to read and learn from those groups of educators who may not have exactly the same politics as I do. A case in point is the book under discussion in this essay. It focuses on multiple on-the-ground initiatives that seek to provide more responsive schooling through community-school partnerships and through creating an entire range of social, health-related, and educational services that can give us a sense of possibilities. These programs also have the potential to open the door to further democratizing movements and policies that are key elements for critically oriented educational policies and practices. Thus, even though I wanted a more critical understanding of the structural issues involved in why schools often produce inequalities, the book is still a real contribution.

学校、贫困和社区

虽然批判教育界的一些成员可能不同意，但我认为有必要从那些可能与我的政治不完全相同的教育者群体中阅读和学习。一个典型的例子是本文中讨论的那本书。它侧重于多项实地举措，旨在通过社区与学校的合作伙伴关系，以及通过创建一整套社会、健康相关和教育服务，让我们感受到可能性，从而提供更具响应性的学校教育。这些计划还有可能为进一步民主化运动和政策打开大门，这些运动和政策是批判性教育政策和实践的关键要素。因此，尽管我想对学校经常产生不平等的原因所涉及的结构性问题有更批判性的理解，
