A. Cunningham, University of Chicago " . . . . This book does something that is unique in our headlong rush to change, reform, punish, or criticize education. Its thoughtful essays pause and reflect on what public education means in America. . . . [Reconstructing the Common Good in Education] is relevant for both historians and those in education policy. . . .[It] provides useful ideas and material for both." -- American Studies International |

| Publisher Description: What constitutes the common good in American public education? This volume explores the ongoing debate between those who expect schools to cultivate citizens through personal, moral, and social development, as well as to bind diverse groups into one nation, and a new generation of school reformers intent on using schools to solve the nation's economic problems by equipping students with marketable skills. |
