Andrea Gabor on “how a Texas district turned business guru W. Edwards Deming’s theories into an education-reform blueprint. And why it might not last.”
“After the Education Wars offers a series of powerful counternarratives that challenge the deeply flawed, corporate-based school reform movement … this is a useful, and exceedingly timely, book.”
This book belongs alongside Diane Ravitch’s works on education, and Dale Russakoff’s The Prize. It will appeal to serious readers seeking to understand the current state of education reform, how it’s practiced, the pitfalls, and what does and doesn’t work.
