A few years ago, I worked with David Gabbard, Sandra Mathison, Kevin Vinson, and Kathleen Kesson to edit a four volume set of books titled Defending Public Schools. The books were published by Praeger (a division of Greenwood Publishing Group) and received some really outstanding reviews.
I very pleased that Teachers College Press has decided to publish two of the DPS books in paperback editions: Education Under the Security State and The Nature and Limits of Standards-Based Reform and Assessment. Both books will be available in July.
The Defending Public Schools set is still available from Greenwood in hardcover, with individual volumes also available as ebooks.

I am glad you are defending public schools, but I wonder if you could also find a way to highlight the problems posed by a fake superintendent with no actual credentials. I wrote a short quiz about it here:
