چکیده Johnson (literacy education, Dowling College) argues that closing America's achievement gap cannot be accomplished until equality gaps in the school, home, and neighborhood are addressed. Defining corrective justice as a national commitment to create equal opportunities for all public school students who must take the same high-stakes tests, Johnson and his co-authors (all of whom teach human development and learning at Dowling College) advocate for improvements in affordable housing, living wage employment, equity in school buildings and resources, adequate medical care for all students, and violence-free homes and communities.
