Abstract	The author was startled by the carelessness and selectivity of Robert Slavin's comments, which give his words the ring of a promotional release rather than of intellectual reflection. He agrees that Slavin is accurate in saying that the scores on reading tests at P.S. 65 in the South Bronx improved during a period in which, among a number of other factors, most of which he fails to note, Success for All (SFA) was being used. The author also agrees with Slavin in saying that scores declined in 2004 and 2005. In this article, the author points out some important details that Mr. Slavin omitted from his defense of Success for All and challenges the assertion that SFA can "fix" inequality and racial segregation. (Contains 1 table and 7 endnotes.) (ERIC).
