Esteemed historians of education David Tyack, Carl Kaestle,
Diane Ravitch, James Anderson, and Larry Cuban journey through
history and across the nation to recapture the idealism of our
education pioneers, Thomas Jefferson and Horace Mann. We learn how,
in the first quarter of the twentieth century, massive immigration,
child labor laws, and the explosive growth of cities fueled school
attendance and transformed public education, and how in the 1950s
public schools became a major battleground in the fight for
equality for minorities and women. The debate rages on: Do today’s
reforms challenge our forebears’ notion of a common school for all
Americans? Or are they our only recourse today?
This lavishly illustrated companion book to the acclaimed PBS
documentary, School, is essential reading for anyone who cares
about public education.
