What is underneath and behind the language of choice, efficiency, and improvement in current neoliberal discourse? How will urban and poor populations be affected? Will privatization lead to increased stratification in our schools?  How can public education not only be saved but re-imagined? In accessible language, renowned contributors explore and critique corporate school reform to both inform and serve as an organizing tool for teachers, parents, students, and citizens committed to genuine public education. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBook Features:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e   \u003cli\u003e\tA comprehensive critique of how corporate power is disrupting universal public education.\u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003e\tAn illumination of how corporate school reform threatens unions, racial progress, and democracy.\u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003e\tAn illustration of how private wealth forges public policy.\u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003e\tA case study of the public school system in New Orleans.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Teachers College Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52551811203352,"sku":"9780807752548","price":30.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/the-assault-on-public-education-confronting-the-politics-of-corporate-school-reform-paperback-softback-9780807752548","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
