America's public schools : from the common school to "No Child Left Behind"
Organized around two themes - education as the means for reforming American society and ongoing reform within the schools themselves - this study examines two centuries of American public education. It is an interpretation of the history of public elementary and secondary schools and explores school and society in the nineteenth century.
