4.0 out of 5 stars Subjective Evaluation
The arguments are, as stated in 1st review, slanted. They are supposed to be! The book uses a pro vs. con argument format and tries not to judge. Summary is limited to a mild discussion of the importance of the issue. I was required to use it in an education course and actually kept the book.

The arguments are, as stated in 1st review, slanted. They are supposed to be! The book uses a pro vs. con argument format and tries not to judge. Summary is limited to a mild discussion of the importance of the issue. I was required to use it in an education course and actually kept the book. I was looking for an updated version when I stumbled here, although in education as in all things it seems that the more things change the more they stay the same. I think that anyone, and I mean anyone, who intends to use public media to deliver opinions of any sort on education should be required to read the book.

5.0 out of 5 stars just right, July 27, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Critical Issues in Education: Dialogues and Dialectics (Paperback)
I am just getting back in school for my doctorate after 8 years. This book was a blessing and in perfect shape. Being a single mother, it really helped my budget stretch. I will continue to use AMAZON for future purchases of my textbooks over the next 3 years.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great buy, March 26, 2009
This book contains a wealth of information concerning the relevant issues of today's educational system. It presents different perspectives and allows the reader to develop their own idea on a particular subject. I would recommend this book to anyone who would like to get a better grasp on some of the current organizational trends and issues in educational leadership and human services.
