Description
The author traces America's unquestioning faith in the capacity of public education to solve all of our social, economic, and political problems civil from before the civil war up to the No Child Left Behind legislation and discusses how this faith in education often makes it difficult for Americans to think realistically about the capacities and limitations of public schooling.
