Not worth the price:
As a conservative, I found the cover offensive. However, except for bashing the No Child Left Behind Act, the author comes across as politically neutral (compared to this documentaries, which are obviously liberal). Although there is a great deal of helpful information in the text, a price of more than ten dollars or so for a book this small (about a half-inch thick) seems like a rip-off.
Education Overview:
The book arrived in great shape and on time. It is an overview of American public schooling and an important statement about the way we got to where we are today.
Little Book Big Price:
