This title will give students and other readers a clear
understanding of the true state of public and private education
systems in the United States by refuting falsehoods,
misunderstandings, and exaggerations-and confirming the validity of
other assertions. This work is part of a series that uses
evidence-based documentation to examine the veracity of claims and
beliefs about high-profile issues in American culture and politics.
Each book in the Contemporary Debates series is intended to
puncture rather than perpetuate myths that diminish our
understanding of important policies and positions; to provide
needed context for misleading statements and claims; and to confirm
the factual accuracy of other assertions. This particular volume
examines beliefs, claims, and myths about public and private K-12
education in the United States. Issues covered include categories
of public and private schools and variations in academic
performance and socioeconomic status therein; controversies
surrounding school choice, including school vouchers and charter
schools; accountability and assessment of private and public
schools; debates about school environment, safety, and curricula;
and teacher and administrator quality. All of these issues are
examined in individualized entries, with objective responses
grounded in up-to-date evidence. Features an easy-to-navigate
question-and-answer format Uses quantifiable data from respected
sources as the foundation for examining every issue Provides
readers with leads to conduct further research in extensive Further
Reading sections for each entry Examines claims made by individuals
and groups of all political backgrounds and ideologies
