Misguided Education Reform: Debating the Impact on Students argues for reforms that will help, not hurt, America's public school students. Early childhood education, testing, reading, special education, discipline, loss of the arts, and school facilities, are all areas experiencing reform in the wrong direction. This book says "no" to the reforms that fail, and challenges Americans to address the real student needs that will fix public schools and make America strong.
