This book could use some editing. It seems to go all over the place without completing a full thought. Having said that, it is FULL of references to back up the author's assertions and is very fascinating reading for anyone interested in the history of public schooling.

This book is written like a series of essays that are not very coherently organized. It was written for a publishing co that got cold feet, so it looks like a self-published pre-edited version of a massive work on the history and current state of public school. It is full of fascinating facts, well-researched and referenced. But it doesn't read very well.
