A primer for presidents, politicians, pedagogues, parents and people everywhere on the current complex status of American public education and its future. A forceful, objective and unusual fashion, confronts the current wave of inaccurate and almost vindictive generalizations which beset the American public schools. The book contains a wealth of information, speculation and advocacy unfamiliar to parents and the general public. It is not scholarly book. There is a minimum of statistics. It is intended to be essential, but pleasant reading ... call it human. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
