Political Agendas for Education

This book does a great job of looking at all sides of the political spectrum on education. It is very thought provoking and an interesting read.

Good Information

The book covers multiple contributions of the no child left behind legislation but the lack of effectiveness can be more clearly defined. The book gives some background on the each political parties motivation to contribute to the laws about the future of education in our country and how racism and classism still trump the moral obligations of our leadership.

This book is a must read

This book is a must read for anyone who ever wondered why public schools can never seem to make up their minds. Dr. Spring presents a balanced view of the agendas and motivations that various groups have for shaping the course of educational direction. No matter where you fall on the political spectrum, this book is informative and enlightening.
