    Osgood examines the history of the school lives of children placed in formal or informal special education settings in American public schools during the last 120 years.

    Robert J. Franciosi
  • Publication Details

    Book, Praeger, 2004
  • Description

    This volume provides a comprehensive and balanced survey of the state of American public education. Franciosi advocates school choice as a way of restoring greater control by parents over their children’s schools. While school spending has steadily increased, student achievement has fluctuated, and remains below that of students in other developed nations. Past efforts to reform public education have led to increasingly centralized control over public schools. (automatically summarized from Amazon.com)
