In the sweeping set of federal laws known as No Child Left Behind, the contributors see a sustained and damaging campaign to dismantle America's neighborhood-based public school system. Writing for parents, teachers, and the interested public, they lay out the ways that backers of No Child Left Behind, which has been presented as a reform effort, have exaggerated the weaknesses of the system and diverted attention from the real problems that stem from unequal and inadequate school funding. The 20 contributors are educators, researchers, and school administrators from across the US. Annotation ©2006 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
