In 1983 the Reagan administration released its “A Nation at Risk" report – a devastating critique of America's public schools based on the decline of test scores since 1963. Though later studies cast doubt on “A Nation at Risk,” histrionic rhetoric about “failed schools” has been with us every since. Popular documentaries like “Waiting for Superman” and “The Lottery” suggest that charter schools are the unmitigated answer to our public education woes. And now a new film starring Viola Davis and Maggie Gyllenhaal – “Won’t Back Down,” which opens in theaters this week – promotes the controversial “parent-trigger” laws that allow parents to convert their local schools to charters in some states. What’s really going on in America's public schools today? Here are 15 must-read books that provide a more nuanced perspective on the current state of US public education.
