Download Pluralism and American Public Education: No One Way to School AudioBook Free
This booklet argues that the composition of public education is an integral factor in the inability of America's public education system to fulfill the intellectual, civic, and moral seeks for which it was made. The book challenges the philosophical basis for the traditional common school model and defends the educational pluralism that most liberal democracies enjoy. Berner provides a unique theoretical pathway that is neither libertarian nor state-focused and a pragmatic pathway that avoids the winner-takes-all methodology of many contemporary debates about education. For the first time in almost 150 years, changing the actual composition of America's public education system is both plausible and possible, which book attempts to create out why and how.
