我是传统的中国小学、中学、大学、研究生一路上来的,家长眼中的绝对乖乖女。 我第一次走出国门,是大三的时候,去丹麦做交换生。 尽管国内我的家庭背景已经是北上广大城市的中产阶级了,但在丹麦,我就是书中那个妥妥的“双重贫困生”。 那个不知如何与同学交流,无法融入校园...
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 评分这本书写的是美国精英名校中的贫困大学生,因为涉及到阶层之类的敏感字眼,所以中国人非常有共鸣,心有戚戚。 但这种共鸣是错误的幻觉。 举个例子,电影Joker,有独身公寓,吃喝不愁,还有心理医生免费看。 这种人叫「活得不好」? 同理,这本书中的贫困生,确实经济条件不富裕...

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.

评分整本书都在翻来覆去地打苦情牌,所以是怎样,让读者给你水滴筹啊?
评分内容很好,一共三章,在美国精英大学校园里:富裕家庭出身的学生和贫穷家庭出身的学生的互动和学业生活习惯程度;这两类学生和教授及行政人员互动的差异;学校为了加强贫穷学生的融入程度而推出的一些与初衷背道而驰的项目和措施。内容虽好但觉得深度不够,且有点啰嗦冗长。对于在美国的大学里工作过一段时间的人来说有点老生常谈。希望能激发更多更深层次的研究,也希望亚裔美国学生的情况能被研究一下…
