{"product_id":"school-the-story-of-american-public-education-1","title":"School: The Story of American Public Education","description":"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?\n\nThis lavishly illustrated companion book to the acclaimed PBS documentary, School, is essential reading for anyone who cares about public education.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0807042218\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.0807042218.A\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Acceptable\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Mondale, Sarah\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: This copy has clearly been enjoyed—expect noticeable shelf wear and some minor creases to the cover.
