The tone of the book is a mixture of subjective and objective. There are plenty of notes and citations for the many research studies and excerpts of writing that are presented in the book. The research studies are objectively presented and discussed. The subjective tone comes from the many personal views of the author that are presented throughout the book. He renders his opinions and views about the schools, programs and students, but this adds to rather than detracts from the book. Rose, himself, is from an impoverished background and had problems in school as a result. This, of course, makes him particularly sensitive to the needs of these kinds of people and he has spent his career working with these kinds of people. He is concerned with the lack of preparation that students receive from the educational system. But he and others have been able to overcome their backgrounds, which is the message of the book.
