A Leap of Faith: Hiring Business To Manage Public Schools.

Sawicky, Max B.

School Administrator, v54 n1 p20-21,24-27 Jan 1997

The author of "Risky Business: Private Management of Public Schools" examines privatization efforts by Educational Alternatives Inc. and the Edison Project. Privatization actually represents two different interests: a conservative ideological crusade and a nonpartisan exercise in pursuing good government. Most arrangements have not succeeded; none has persisted long enough to be properly evaluated. (MLH)
