Opis

The authors trace America's unquestioning faith in the capacity of public education to solve all social, economic and political problems. Beginning before the Civil War and moving up to the 'No Child Left Behind' legislation, they discuss how this faith in education makes it difficult for Americans to see the limitations of public schooling.
