USA DUPED
The Bronx might seem an improbable setting for an academic miracle with an area of 42 square miles with 1,472,654 residents.
I'm a university professor here, the ninth-most-populous in the U.S., where crimes are common. Yet the latest data shows graduation rates at the city’s schools are surging. Alas, such gains are not showing up in other academic indicators. However, I have lectured on the West Coast, the Midwest, the South, and the northeastern American states.
