A Wolf at the Schoolhouse Door: The Dismantling of Public Education and the Future of School by Jennifer Berkshire, Jack Schneider

4.0

A Wolf At The Schoolhouse Door by Jack Schneider and Jennifer Berkshire--This book is somehow both tensely horrifying and barely scratches the surface of the battle for education in America. The authors detail a history of education privatization, beginning largely with Reagan and coming into full fruition in the last few years. I think there are some legitimate concerns with some public schools which the authors gloss over, but they do a convincing job of demonstrating that introducing a profit motive into the educational process is rarely workable or beneficial for kids. Thumbs up.
