Riassunto

Kearns, a deputy secretary of education under Bush, and Harvey, a Carter appointee who helped develop the 1983 report A Nation at Risk , propose a new definition of public education that supports uniform standards, greater innovation and flexibility, and as much choice as the system can stand. They argue that the success of reforms depends on the efforts of ordinary citizens, especially parents. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
