Slaying Goliath

This is a compelling narrative written by a leading authority on education in the US, about the grassroots movement against privatization of public schools. It highlights the importance of protecting public schools from those who fund privatization and believe in treating children as customers or products. It highlights the power of democracy, the dangers of plutocracy, and the potential of ordinary people to prevail against those who divert funding away from the historic system of democratically governed, nonsectarian public schools. It also highlights the importance of public school teachers, and the fact that distance learning cannot replace human interaction, the personal connection between teachers and students.
