4.0 out of 5 stars Comprehensive Textbook, April 6, 2000
By Michelle M James (Arizona (USA)) - See all my reviews
This book is about the basic history of American Education, from the Revolution to Modern Times. Chapters are broken down into time periods, many charts, graphs, timelines available. Critical Analysis sections, end-of chapter questions, and bibliographies for each chapter are very helpful! this book is great for a Foundations of Education course.

4.0 out of 5 stars History of Education, July 11, 2001
I thought this book was an excellent combination of information and facts. Not only was it easy to find the information you wanted but it was also very interesting, unlike many of these kinds of books. I think it is an excellent rescource for any teacher or person wanting to know about education and how we got where we are.
