"I only needed Chapters 1,4,5,&6 for my paper. From this book, I learned the political environment for the 1983 report "A Nation at Risk." I learned about statistical errors and fallacies in reasoning that inform some report, the conditions of schools in the Reagan-Bush administration, and the Reagan-Bush agenda."
"Perfect example of the right wing attack dogs in action...I will always remember this book the next time some right wing butjob (ie...half of America) wants to denigrate a public institution) Never forget it is in their interest to make public institutions fail, because then a for-profit private one can rise up in its stead. Shockingly, US education isn't a monolith...and Minnesota rivals Taiwan in Math (haven't heard that on the news...wonder why not) while Louisiana is barely better than Jordan....guess which one gets more funding....guess where the funding in L.A. has gone instead recently....great book"
