Recenzii

[A] thought-provoking book that looks at both the theoretical and empirical issues surrounding school privatization . . . Throughout the discussion, Weil produces a fair and balanced treatment of some truly controversial issues. A must-read for those interested in the privatization of U.S. schools. Essential. All levels.
