Description

Places the debate concerning the future of public education in a meaningful framework that allows the reader to ask new questions and seek genuine solutions. Charter schools are the most significant educational experiment in the last two decades. In Expect Miracles , Peter W. Cookson, Jr. and Kristina Berger focus on the current trend toward deregulation in public education. The issue of deregulation is of critical importance because the spirit of entrepreneurship that is behind deregulation is seldom examined from a sociological perspective. Using the latest research as the basis for discussion, this book provides a fresh look at the growing and politically volatile charter school movement. The authors present the most balanced analysis to date of the movement that is changing the landscape of American education. 0465062695 Preparing for Power : America's Elite Boarding Schools
