A New York University education professor takes an in-depth look at the failed efforts to privatize public schools and the victories of those who have fought to save America's public school system.
What The Reviewers Say
... a thought-provoking, painstakingly researched account.
In this incisive, meticulously researched book, Ravitch...argues persuasively that the U.S. school privatization movement has resulted in poor test scores, the closure of public schools, and attacks on the teaching profession.
Missing from these pages are the subtle insight and informed judgment for which she was once known.
...it’s like nothing
I’ve ever read. This is a history torn from the front page.
