Books by Kenneth J. Saltman

"[First edition published by Paradigm 2014]"--T.p. verso.

Highlights the increasing tendancy towards privatization in the US school system and the need to fight it.

From schools advertizing McDonald's, Nike, and Shell oil to students suspended for wearing Pepsi t-shirts on Coke day, this book sifts through a range of incidents to reveal how the rising corporatization of public schools needs to be understood as part of a broader attack on the public sector.

Illustrating the successes, failures, and ultimate demise of the largest for-profit manager of public schools, author Saltman argues that the failures of The Edison Schools offer valuable lessons for remaining Educational Management Organizations.
