    There can't be any shortcuts in closing the equity gap. "Reformers" keep looking for quick fixes, but poor children of color need the same respectful, holistic, engaging, multimedia instruction.

    I wonder how many inner city secondary students got to watch this week's PBS the Latino Experience and study it in class.
