Description
Key Features
The Edison Schools book examines the for-profit education company's ambitious but ultimately unsuccessful attempt to reshape American public schools during the 1980s onwards.
Published by Routledge within the Positions: Education, Politics, and Culture series, providing scholarly analysis of corporate influence on education policy.
Traces entrepreneur Christopher Whittle's standardized curriculum model and administrative cost-cutting strategies that failed to deliver promised results.
Analyses the clash between commercial interests and educational outcomes, revealing why the Edison Schools business model collapsed despite early investment and support.
