We learn how, in the first quarter of the twentieth century, massive immigration, child labor laws, and the explosive growth of cities fueled school attendance and transformed public education, and how in the 1950s public schools became a major battleground in the fight for equality for minorities and women. The debate rages on: Do today's reforms challenge our forebears' notion of a common school for all Americans? Or are they our only recourse today? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis lavishly illustrated companion book to the acclaimed PBS documentary, \u003ci\u003eSchool, \u003c\/i\u003e is essential reading for anyone who cares about public education.\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Beacon Press","offers":[{"title":"School: The Story of American Public Education | Sarah Mondale | Paperback | 9780807042212 | Used: Very Good | Education 1627261","offer_id":48425826779288,"sku":"1627261","price":7.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/61iHv5Uuj0L.jpg?v=1773345780","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/school-the-story-of-american-public-education","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
