Summary Note "'The end of public schools' analyses the effect of foundations, corporations, and non-governmental organizations on the rise of neoliberal principles in public education. By first contextualizing the privatization of education within the context of a larger educational crisis, and with particular emphasis on the Gates Foundation and influential state and national politicians, this book describes how specific policies that limit public control are advanced across all levels. Informed by a thorough understanding of issues such as standardized testing, teacher tenure, and charter schools, David W. Hursh provides a political and pedagogical critique of the current school reform movement, as well as details about the increasing resistance efforts on the part of parents, teachers, and the general public." - Back cover.
