Charter School Report Card(HC)

A volume in Critical Constructions: Studies on Education and Society
What is a charter school? Where do they come from? Who promotes them, and why?
What are they supposed to do? Are they the silver bullet to the ills plaguing the American
public education system? This book provides a comprehensive and accessible overview
and analysis of charter schools and their many dimensions. It shows that charter schools
as a whole lower the quality of education through the privatization and marketization of education. The final chapter
provides readers with a way toward rethinking and remaking education in a way that is consistent with modern
requirements. Society and its members need a fully funded high quality public education system open to all and
controlled by a public authority.
