商品簡介
Like others in the Debating Issues in American Education series, this volume presents challenging questions in a debate format. For each of 14 questions, treatment includes an overview, an essay making the point, and another in counterpoint. A sampling of the questions: Should school governance be shifted from local school boards to the additional and direct control of elected political leaders? Are school boards necessary in today's public schools? Do charter schools improve governance within the public education system? Will an increased focus on the market economy and global competition in K-12 public education prepare students to succeed economically? The three editors are affiliated as follows: Richard C. Hunter (U. of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, and Bahrain Teachers College, U. of Bahrain, Kingdom of Bahrain), Frank Brown (U. of North Carolina at Chapel Hill), and Saran Donahoo (Southern Illinois University Carbondale).
