具体描述
Getting in is only half the battle. The Privileged Poor reveals how―and why―disadvantaged students struggle at elite colleges, and explains what schools can do differently if these students are to thrive.
The Ivy League looks different than it used to. College presidents and deans of admission have opened their doors―and their coffers―to support a more diverse student body. But is it enough just to admit these students? In The Privileged Poor, Anthony Jack reveals that the struggles of less privileged students continue long after they’ve arrived on campus. Admission, they quickly learn, is not the same as acceptance. This bracing and necessary book documents how university policies and cultures can exacerbate preexisting inequalities and reveals why these policies hit some students harder than others.
Despite their lofty aspirations, top colleges hedge their bets by recruiting their new diversity largely from the same old sources, admitting scores of lower-income black, Latino, and white undergraduates from elite private high schools like Exeter and Andover. These students approach campus life very differently from students who attended local, and typically troubled, public high schools and are often left to flounder on their own. Drawing on interviews with dozens of undergraduates at one of America’s most famous colleges and on his own experiences as one of the privileged poor, Jack describes the lives poor students bring with them and shows how powerfully background affects their chances of success.
If we truly want our top colleges to be engines of opportunity, university policies and campus cultures will have to change. Jack provides concrete advice to help schools reduce these hidden disadvantages―advice we cannot afford to ignore.

读后感
这本书的英文标题是《The Privileged Poor》，是“寒门幸运儿”的意思，译者翻译成《寒门弟子上大学》。“寒门弟子上大学”更多动感，让人遐想。 作者来自于迈阿密的椰林区，家境贫困。幸运地参加了“赢在起跑线”项目，因此能够就读格列佛预科学校-一所昂贵的私立高中，在生活...
评分中国版的“寒门子弟上大学”的故事是：一个出生农村普通家庭的小孩，父母基本都是务农或者干一些体力活维持生计，父母小学或者初中毕业，好一点是有读过高中，上过大学的几乎是没有的。从小到大学习基本只能靠自己的自觉和努力，父母对成绩基本不怎么过问，只关心你在学校有没...
评分外行人先说说我眼中的不足：这本书似乎没怎么用到统计学的方法，只有定性的分析，没有定量的准确的结论；基础教育方面国情不同，PP和DD的分法对我们来说不太适用 说说有价值的部分，在985five引起广泛关注的今天，这本书无疑为我们的大学生提供了一些参考。前几天听我家住海淀...
评分这是一本写法很接地气的书，内容朴实无华，甚至有些内容会让读者认为过于重复，但杰克的这种写法，目的就是强调他的核心观点--经济差异-->文化资积累不足-->该现象在教育行业的体现。杰克引入双重贫困生、寒门幸运儿、高收入学生三者来对照研究，特别是前两组的对照，直...

接着paying for the party 往后写了一下好学校里的穷学生，一种比较幸运，通过各种项目在寄宿学校积累过一轮人力和文化资本，一种实惨，费劲来了以后各种文化冲击。有的时候觉得社会生活太复杂了，即使是穷人也会被同一个社会的不同项目给分裂成几个小群体，产生不一样的体验（作者顺嘴提了一下群体之间对于同一件事不同的道德界限）。观察一下，其实在留学生里也常见，只不过parachute kids吸引了更多的媒体注意力。终于，美国人终于意识到diversity不仅仅是肤色意义上的representative，也能注意到阶级伤害是真实的存在了。
评分从一个很具体的人群切入，通过三组在精英大学来自不同阶级背景的学生的比较，非常具体又条理清楚的看到现在的学校制度下，贫困学生所经历的困境。很多意在帮助他们的措施也可能是进一步强化差异，没有考虑到心理层面带给学生的感受。阶级和教育题材书籍中的又一块砖。
评分这种讲美国学生cultural capital 和精英学校运作规则理解的书真是读一本等于读全部……感觉主旨的那些 cultural capital - ease，中产非中产文化资本的差别，别人都写过了……抄录一点最后政策建议：高中培育有利于上大学的文化，大学阶段为学生提供更多的生活补助，多提供制度性的学生和老师接触的机会，把unspoken rules明确化，等等。
评分不知道为啥，这种书总有一种一眼看到头的感觉，特权那本也是。
评分上个月Dr. Jack 来学校的时候见到了本人，也见到了Vanessa现身说法，说这本书改变了她的人生。书本身不是没有问题，比如他自己承认的只关注了African Americans和latinos两个种族，其他群体被直接忽略，但是更多还是积极的内容。The stories of marginalized groups need to be told.
