Corporatization, charter schools, misleading claims of skill gaps, the loss of Separation of Church and State, deprofessionalization, and the over-use of technology all threaten the existence of the schools that belong to all Americans. This book addresses the problems surrounding those issues, and is a tribute to the groups and individuals who are fighting draconian reforms in order to save our public schools. 606 $aEducation and state$zUnited States 606 $aEducation$xAims and objectives$zUnited States 606 $aPublic schools$zUnited States 615 0$aEducation and state 615 0$aEducation$xAims and objectives 615 0$aPublic schools 676 $a371.010973 700 $aBailey$b Nancy E.$01708453 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910820227003321 996 $aLosing America's schools$94097453 997 $aUNINA
