Schools and Society: In Defense of Public Education($11.95Value)

Description

Public schools and public school teachers have come under increasing attack in the past two decades as business interests set their sights on public education as a market to be exploited. In Schools and Society, Emanuele Corso uses his home state as a case study to shine a spotlight on corporate efforts to undermine and privatize an institution that has strengthened American democracy for hundreds of years. Without turning a blind eye to its faults, Dr. Corso passionately defends public education as one of the nation’s finest and most vital achievements, one that must not be trifled with lest the future of our democracy be put at risk.
