Klappentext In the polarizing debate over charter schools, advocates insist charters are a beneficial alternative that especially helps economically disadvantaged students, while critics doubt these touted achievements. This new book, published by the Economic Policy Institute and Teachers College Press, sheds needed light on this debate by analyzing current research and data to show how charter schools perform compared to regular public schools. The Charter School Dust-Up: Examining the Evidence on Enrollment and Achievement looks at national data and studies in 13 states to investigate charter school enrollment and achievement. Zusammenfassung Debates spurred by federal charter school test data show how all debates about education could be improved.
