| Summary |
"This study of Edgewood Academy - a private, elite college preparatory high school - examines what moral choices look like when they are made by the participants in an exceptionally wealthy school, and what the very existence of a privileged school indicates about American society. It extends Alan Peshkin's ongoing exploration of U.S. high schools and their communities, each focused in a different sociocultural setting."--BOOK JACKET |
