Rachel sends her son, Crispin, to honors magnet elementary school. Here they meet a variety of academically
and socially pushy (and occasionally clueless) parents and their children. During Rachel and Crispin’s adventures
of one school year, the bias of a system that categorizes instead of teaches and accepts is exposed. Racial, economic, and intellectual bigotry are all encountered—sometimes with laughter, sometimes with tears, but always with insight.
