The authors do not defend the public school system, which for decades has failed primarily poor children of color. Instead, they use empirical evidence to determine whether charter schooling offers an authentic alternative for these children. In concise chapters, they address a series of important questions related to the recent ascent of charter schools and the radical restructuring of public education. This essential introduction includes a detailed history of the charter movement, an analysis of the politics and economics driving the movement, documentation of actual student outcomes, and alternative images of transforming public education to serve all children.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBook Features: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAn overview of the key issues surrounding the charter school movement.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA reframing of the recent discourse on public school reform\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA comprehensive comparison examining the promises of charter schooling against the empirical evidence.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAn examination of how charter schools impact communities of color and larger public school systems in poor urban areas.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAn exploration of the relationships among the rapid ascendance of charter reform, economic decline, and fiscal austerity.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Michael Fabricant,Michelle Fine\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0807752851\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780807752852\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Teachers College Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/15\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 168\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.10w x 0.60d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/01\/2013","brand":"Michael Fabricant","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48216508203263,"sku":"9780807752852","price":28.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a208d999-cc21-4703-b5fc-91a836cc1caa.jpg?v=1771991471","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/charter-schools-and-the-corporate-michael-fabricant-9780807752852","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
