A must read for anyone involved in School Reform
Revisado: 08-11-13
If you could sum up The Death and Life of the Great American School System in three words, what would they be?
Revealing, Provacative, Insightful
What was one of the most memorable moments of The Death and Life of the Great American School System?
Understanding the corporate influence in policy making
What do you think the narrator could have done better?
The narrator needed to speak clearly, and louder, at times she drifted into a soft whisper, and talked too sensual for the topic.
If you could give The Death and Life of the Great American School System a new subtitle, what would it be?
An expose into the forces shaping educational policy.
Any additional comments?
You must read this book, if you are in anyway involved with education. If you are concerned about the state of students today, and want to understand why and how the problems of K-12 are now fully entrenched into Higher Education, you need to be aware of the history of decentralization of school. This book is brilliant and enlightening.

More of History, little of Herstory
Revisado: 08-11-13
Would you try another book from Kenneth C. Davis and/or Sam Freed and Kenneth C. Davis ?
Doubtfully, as the title was deceptive, most of the stories centered around men, with little mention of the women as implied by the title. Very few new revelations to anyone who has read much history.
Any additional comments?
The book was an interesting listen, and would be fine for the general historical novice. It is not near as revealing as the prologue suggests. I expected more about Women in the book, but it really was narrow in its focus, and primarily only discussed Anne Hutchinson. Who albeit worthy of discussion, is only one of many women who shaped American history.
