This book documents the shocking state of public education in the
United States, including the high rates of school violence, the
decline in student achievement, and the politicization of the
educational process. By comparing the performance of public schools
with private schools (which spend less than half per capita than
public counterparts), the book reveals areas in which public
education might reduce administrative overhead, eliminate internal
segregation of students, and provide a safe and disciplined
learning environment. Also suggested are ways in which public
schools might learn from the experience and traditions of the past,
including the essential elements of learning in the one-room
schoolhouse and the integration of students of different ages. The
role of the judiciary is critically reviewed, as well as Supreme
Court decisions in the areas of racial discrimination, school
discipline, bilingual education, special education, and school
financing.
