This is an excellent book that I had as a textbook for a college course about education. The book follows a PBS special and gives the history behind education (in general.) The text is easy to follow and the pictures are appropriate. The book really tells the "story" of education (rather than being bland and just giving facts.)
90 minutes. Watch online at http://www.pbs.org/tpt/slavery-by-another-name/watch/

The public schools are already too concerned about the funding and not putting the students as the top priority.
Isn't that what a school should be about? The students?… (mer)
