Public and Private Education in America: Examining the Facts

By Casey D Cobb

"A convenient, information-rich source for anyone interested in schooling." - Library Journal

This title gives readers a clear understanding of the true state of public and private education systems in the USA by refuting falsehoods, misunderstandings, and exaggerations - and confirming the validity of other assertions.

Issues covered include categories of public and private schools and variations in academic performance and socioeconomic status therein; controversies surrounding school choice, including school vouchers and charter schools; accountability and assessment of private and public schools; debates about school environment, safety, and curricula; and teacher and administrator quality. All of these issues are examined in individualized entries, with objective responses grounded in evidence.
