"I know of no treatise that more boldly exposes the most acute problems today confronting American education. Choosing Equality resonates with a call for national declaration of inter-dependence, for full recognition that if our public schools are to serve any child well, they must serve all children well."
—Mary Hatwood Futrell, National Education Association
The product of a two-year project developed by the New World Foundation, these essays present a comprehensive critique of education and the current reforms covering instruction and the institution as well as policy and politics.
