• Betrayed: How the Education Establishment has Betrayed American and What You Can Do About It—by Laurie Rogers. 
  

Laurie Rogers has written a comprehensive and thoroughly researched analysis of public education today, liberally seasoned with her own personal experiences and those of students, teachers, and other parents she has interviewed. She writes in an easily readable, accessible style, punctuated with humor and common sense. Education activists should have this book in their libraries, and those new to the issues will find it a helpful resource.
