FW: [PEN-L] The crisis in public education

[Funke Jayson J <funke.jj@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I have not read any of the literature put out by the folks affiliated with ACTA (American Council of Trustees and Alumni), but they have quite a bit of "Crisis in public education" material on their web site. If you don't know, Lynne Cheney is quite active in ACTA. I don't know if that may be a factor in the material they produce?

Subject:        [PEN-L] The crisis in public education

I'm looking for updated information on the crisis, real or imagined, in public education.  The book by Biddle and Berliner has been criticized, I think fairly, for some poor scholarship, but I'd like to read up on the whole debate.
Can folks here recommend some updated reading materials?
Thanks.

Bill
