Race to the bottom

"Traces the emergence of corporate reform and describes how its tenets run counter to ... the key elements of a high-quality education. McGill draws from a wealth of experience as a school superintendent for over 40 years, including his tenure in Scarsdale during the 2001 district-wide boycott of New York State standardized tests. Showing how strong leaders working with teachers and the community have been able to strengthen schools, the author offers a model of [public] school reform that will prepare students for the 21st century."--Provided by publisher.
