A book thatparents and educators must read!, 1998-06-23
Charter Schools may just be the secret to better public education. In a free market economy, what works better than competition? Charter schools are forcing our public schools to work, because they are showing the public that it can be done, well, with the money that we already have out there. Read this book-- and start wondering, where does your tax money really go?
