Description

Explore the complex history of American McEducation with The Edison Schools: Corporate Schooling and the Assault on Public Education. This book provides a detailed account of how a massive enterprise intended to transform public schools turned into a troubled business facing falling test scores and declining stock prices. Follow the journey of entrepreneur Christopher Whittle as he attempted to implement a standardized nationwide curriculum and reduce administrative waste. This narrative tracks the rise and fall of the most ambitious for-profit education company in U.S. history.
