The issues discussed include: how do educational systems in advanced societies vary in processes to move students into labor markets? What is the relationship of state-supported education credentialing systems to labor markets and economic expansion? How do state policies, such as local tax structures, produce inequality in education? What are the consequences of black -white inequalities in U.S. educational systems? Who fails and who succeeds in America's schools? How does class, gender, race or other social constructs determine choices and outcomes?</P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/29495C45-C1E1-4E9A-A7A6-4903C7437928/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
