When education activists in New York, Chicago, and other urban
school districts in the 1980s began the small-schools movement,
they envisioned a new kind of public school system that was fair
and equitable and that encouraged new relationships between
teachers and students. When that movement for school reform ran
head-on into the neo-conservative takeover of the Department of
Education and its No Child Left Behind strategy for school change,
a new model of federal power bent on the erosion of public space
and the privatization of public schooling emerged. Michael and
Susan Klonsky, educators who were among the early leaders of the
small-schools movement, tell the story of how a once-promising
model of creating new small and charter schools has been used by
the neocons to reproduce many of the old inequities. Small Schools
is the engaging story of what happens when the small-schools
movement meets the Ownership Society.
