Our schools and our future : --are we still at risk?

Peterson, Paul E. (Added Author). Chubb, John E. (Added Author). Hoover Institution on War, Revolution, and Peace. Koret Task Force on K-12 Education. (Added Author).

Summary: "When A nation at risk was published 20 years ago, it was seen as something of the Peyton Place of education reports: it stunned the establishment, readers threw up their hands and proclaimed themselves shocked by it, but no one could tear themselves away from reading it. Now, on the 20th anniversary of the original report, the Koret Task Force tells a no less compelling story."--Back cover
