The American School: 1642-1996

by Joel Spring

The fourth edition continues its mission of providing a history of American education that is not only comprehensive and up-to-date, but that stimulates critical thinking on the part of the reader. This is accomplished by lacing a clear, narrative writing style with 1. Alternative interpretations of each major historical period and 2. By using a critical perspective that analyses the social and economic implications of historical events.
