| Summary |
"In The Charter Schools Decade, Anne Turnbaugh Lockwood provides a thorough, unbiased explanation of the charter schools phenomenon. Now well into its second decade, the charter schools movement has not been objectively evaluated, having enjoyed a largely positive press generated by its advocates with only occasional bitter criticism from opponents. Lockwood examines problems and obstacles that charter schools must overcome to succeed and provides a glimpse of the next decade for charter schools." "The Charter Schools Decade is written for an audience interested in school choice issues in an age of the federal No Child Left Behind legislation."--BOOK JACKET |
