Education

This book provides a comprehensive and critical view of forces such as charters, vouchers, Educational Management Organizations (EMO's), and private schools that are altering the future of public education.

Gerald Bracey describes why Americans are nervous about their public schools and examines whether their anxieties are justified. In the first section, the book looks at education reform efforts such as privatization. The section concludes with an overview and analysis of how American schools actually perform on achievement tests and international measures. In the second half of the book, Bracey explores alternatives to public schools that have sprung up in recent years.

• Written by a well-known independent researcher, educator, and writer, this book challenges public education's critics.

• This book is the first to analyze comprehensive material about charter schools, vouchers, Educational Management Organizations, private schools, and the commercialization of education under one cover.

• In all sections, Dr. Bracey includes and evaluates pertinent data to provide authoritative analysis.

• The book looks at interesting and popular experiments in private schooling such as Nobel Learning Communities and Michael Milken's Knowledge Universe.
