This book discusses the transformation of American education in the final years of the 19th century to the present time. As it moves from an aura of actually educating our young people to where it becomes a social morass of violence and crudity. This is a 2013 reprint of the original 1981 first printing. It is in very good shape. The reason it has been listed as “very good” is because there is some residue on the back cover appears to have been due to the removal of a price tag. This is a preowned volume. There are no notations or highlights inside. Please see photo.
