Description

The product of a two-year project developed by the New World Foundation, these essays present a comprehensive critique of education and the current reforms covering instruction and the institution as well as policy and politics.

Reviews

"I know of no treatise that more boldly exposes the most acute problems today confronting American education. Choosing Equality resonates with a call for national declaration of inter-dependence, for full recognition that if our public schools are to serve any child well, they must serve all children well."
—Mary Hatwood Futrell, National Education Association
