Book Reviews of The Education Gospel: The Economic Power of Schooling
Book Review: We need this kind of book!
Summary: 5 Stars
It's sure to provoke thought; and there's precious little of that around when we start talking (usually bashing) America's schools. We need some basic rethinking about purposes, and this is a very good try at that tough subject.
