Charlotte Thomson Iserbyt, former Senior Policy Advisor in the U.S. Department of Education, blew the whistle in the `80s on government activities withheld from the public. Her inside knowledge will help you protect your children from controversial methods and programs. In this book you will discover:
-how good teachers across America have been forced to use controversial, non-academic methods
-how “school choice” is being used to further dangerous reform goals, and how homeschooling and private education are especially vulnerable.
-how the international, national, regional, state and local agendas for education reform are all interconnected and have been for decades.
