Book description
“Phil Brand’s purpose-driven road trip to schools across America has resulted in a book that is both insightful and delightful. His ground-level descriptions of scores of local schools and their communities illustrate the immense variety in American education. Brand is well suited for this Tocquevillian adventure. He is open and curious, and he can change his mind. From his classroom visits, conversations with educators, and wide-ranging reading he demonstrates the unwisdom of attempting to impose excessive uniformity on America’s schools. Brand shows that education is more than passing tests; it’s also about preserving the fabric of communities.”—William A. Fischel, Dartmouth College, author of Making the Grade: Economic Evolution of American School Districts jQuery(function() { jQuery( "#tabs" ).tabs(); });
