Description

Explore the evolution of American education with Small Schools: Public School Reform Meets the Ownership Society. This book examines the history of the small-schools movement that started in urban districts like New York and Chicago during the 1980s. Readers will learn how activists sought to create fair and equitable public school systems by building stronger relationships between teachers and students. The text tracks the shift from these grassroots reform efforts to the era of federal intervention. It analyzes how the neo-conservative takeover of the Department of Education and the No Child Left Behind strategy changed the landscape of American schooling. This work provides a deep look at the emergence of a new model of federal power that influenced the privatization of public schooling and the erosion of public space. Perfect for students, educators, and those interested in the intersection of education, politics, and culture, this Routledge publication offers a detailed perspective on the struggle between local reform movements and national policy shifts. Gain a better understanding of how political changes have shaped the modern public education system.
