This book will reset the discourse on charter schooling by
systematically exploring the gap between the promise and the
performance of charter schools. The authors do not defend the
public school system, which for decades has failed primarily poor
children of color. Instead, they use empirical evidence to
determine whether charter schooling offers an authentic alternative
for these children. In concise chapters, they address a series of
important questions related to the recent ascent of charter schools
and the radical restructuring of public education. This essential
introduction includes a detailed history of the charter movement,
an analysis of the politics and economics driving the movement,
documentation of actual student outcomes, and alternative images of
transforming public education to serve all children. Book Features:
An overview of the key issues surrounding the charter school
movement. A reframing of the recent discourse on public school
reform A comprehensive comparison examining the promises of charter
schooling against the empirical evidence. An examination of how
charter schools impact communities of color and larger public
school systems in poor urban areas. An exploration of the
relationships among the rapid ascendance of charter reform,
economic decline, and fiscal austerity.
