In many cases, \u003cbr\u003e educational policies constructed with the goal of helping youth often have the unintended\u003cbr\u003e consequence of inhibiting youth's potential. This is especially the case when it comes to\u003cbr\u003e youth from historically underrepresented groups. Over and over, educational legislation\u003cbr\u003e aimed at improving life for youth has had the negative effect of eroding opportunities for\u003cbr\u003e our most vulnerable and often times less visible youth.\u003cbr\u003e The authors of this book examine the schooling experiences of Hispanic, African American, Indigenous, poor, and LGBT\u003cbr\u003e youth groups as a way to spotlight the marginalizing and shortsighted effects of national education language, \u003cbr\u003e immigration, and school reform policies. Leading authors from across the country highlight how educational policies\u003cbr\u003e impact youth's development and socialization in school contexts. In most cases, policies are constructed by adults, \u003cbr\u003e implemented by adults, but are rarely informed by the needs and opinions of youth. Not only are youth not consulted\u003cbr\u003e but also policymakers often neglect what we know about the psychological, emotional, and educational health of\u003cbr\u003e youth. Therefore, both the short and long term impact of these policies have but\u003cbr\u003e limited effects on improving students' school performance or personal health\u003cbr\u003e issues such as depression or suicide.\u003cbr\u003e In highlighting the demographic and cultural shifts of the 21st century, this book\u003cbr\u003e provides a compelling case for policymakers and their constituents to become\u003cbr\u003e more sensitive to the diverse needs of our changing student population and to\u003cbr\u003e advocate for policies that better serve them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 222\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.47 x 9.21 x 6.14 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e July 28, 2016\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52509910991155,"sku":"9781681235295","price":92.12,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/T1AyclkyeHF4bHhtZTZnRG9ldldFQT09.webp?v=1760266608","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/products\/educational-policies-and-youth-in-the-21st-century-problems-potential-and-progress-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
