Abstract

"Schooled and Sorted: How Educational Categories Create Inequalities" is a book that addresses the issue of social inequality in America. The authors argue that educational categories contribute to the unequal distribution of citizenship benefits. The book explores the history of education in the United States, the consequences of academic tracking, and the real-world effects of educational categories. While the book provides valuable insights, it has limited exploration of disability and special education and lacks engagement with ableism and disability. Additionally, it could have delved deeper into the relationship between the educational system and society. Overall, the book raises important questions about the role of education in driving social change. [Extracted from the article]
