Abstract
This chapter will examine how tracking, gifted education, special education, and compensatory education programs have limited the educational opportunities of many poor and minority students. Despite the stated intentions of these educational programs, the situation in the nation's urban schools indicates that these structures are having a detrimental impact on the lives of some students. Statistical information regarding the disproportionate participation of poor and minority students in these programs is included
