Sommario/riassunto |
|
Education of America's school children is always hotly debated. This volume in the point/counterpoint 'Debating Issues in American Education' series tackles the topic of alternative schooling and school choice. The contributors explore such varied issues as charter schools, for-profit schools, faith-based schools, magnet schools and vouchers. Each chapter has an introductory essay by the volume editor, followed by point/counterpoint articles written and signed by invited experts, and concludes with further readings and resources. |
