From the Paper:

"The United States has long ceased being a "melting pot" for other cultures and has become more of a "salad bowl" with a polyglot of languages and customs characterizing the American landscape today. Teachers at all levels have their work cut out for them in their efforts to deliver high quality educational services, and federal mandates such as the No Child Left Behind Act have made things even more challenging for everyone involved. Moreover, the fundamental differences between urban and suburban school districts across the country are well documented, and providing positive academic outcomes in this environment requires a careful understanding of what environmental factors may students and how socioeconomic and cultural factors come into play as well."
