Losing America’s Schools: The Fight to Reclaim Public Education is a call to save one of the last great democratic institutions in America. Corporatization, charter schools, misleading claims of skill gaps, the loss of Separation of Church and State, deprofessionalization, and the over–use of technology all threaten the existence of the schools that belong to all Americans. This book addresses the problems surrounding those issues, and is a tribute to the groups and individuals who are fighting draconian reforms in order to save our public schools. It is the sequel to Misguided Education Reform: Debating the Impact on Students.

Industry Reviews

Nancy Bailey's book is not just important for American schools, teachers, parents and children. The attack on publicly funded schools that she documents so clearly in her excellent book has also been taking place in parallel here in England. Her book deserves and needs to be widely read on both sides of the Atlantic.
