Review from an Education Major
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
Many questions often come up when you attend an university, where public and private schooled students are mixed together in one place to learn. It seems that one student is smarter than another just because they attended a private school. This book helps to dig further into the issue, and really help understand how each school is different from one another, and helps illustrate the pros and cons to each. When faculty and administrators are interviewed the authors find that socioecomomics are the biggest factor in seperating the two types of schools. The level of student success depends a lot on where the school is and how much funding that the school is receiving. School reform often influences our school systems today, and this book ties into that current issue. This book is a very good tool for really understanding the issues that currently effect education today, as well as, using the research and surveys done by the authors to understand where the issue stands.
