Schools for Sale: Why Free Market Policies Won't Improve America's Schools and What Will - Critical Issues in Educational Leadership
Ernest R. House
This text illustrates that attempts to reshape American schools to make ""productive workers"" ignore how schools work and students learn, and are therefore doomed to failure. The book provides an appraisal framework to test the relative merits and viability of popular reform ideas.
